This report from the National Research Council of the National Academies explores what we really know about the effectiveness of drug-control efforts. The 360-page report, which is forthcoming in print but available online in full text, finds that there is a severe deficiency of adequate, reliable data on drug use, drug market economics, and enforcement activities. In addition to reviewing what is and what is not known, the study examines how data are collected and used by federal agencies and offers recommendations for closing the current gaps in our knowledge. Users may read the full text of the report in Open Book format at the National Academies site.
