Discuss how the war on drugs can be considered a war on poor and minority women
What will be an ideal response?
• The war on drugs has punished women as victimizers with little consideration of their personal histories of victimization.
• Once women enter the criminal justice system, they are then "victimized" by the system through laws that take the "one-size-fits-all" approach to enforcement.
• Sometimes women are used by their partner or spouse in order to strike a deal in order to reduce the partner or spouse's sentence.
• The treatment of substance abuse has lead to incarceration firstly, compared to being a last resort and seeking an alternative form of treatment.
