Are discrepancies in arrest for black versus white sellers and users, and lower and working class versus middle-class sellers and users, solely due to race and class bias and discrimination, or are other factors at work-for instance, use and purchase patterns and law enforcement-to-seller-and-user points of contact-that might influence these discrepancies?

What will be an ideal response?
