PART 2
Assignment:
First of all, read the short article below and watch the following videos:
- Sunrise Police Make Millions
- Flashback Miami: Miami Drug Wars
- How Drugs Work: Cocaine
Explain your views on whether law enforcement should be in the business of actually luring outside offenders, who otherwise would not be in their communities, into their communities in order to run drug stings which are often conducted in public places (malls, restaurants, etc.).
How prevalent is cocaine use amongst people you know? Do you know anyone who has developed a problem with the drug (this includes 'crack')?
Regarding the flashback, 'Miami Drug Wars' why do you think Miami seems to be at the epicenter of all things drug-related?
For those with Netflix, I highly suggest viewing 'Square Grouper' and the 'Cocaine Cowboys' documentaries for a detailed looked at the development of the drug trade in south Florida.
