Answer to Question 1

Answer: The five approaches used to control drug use in the United States are antidrug legislation and strict enforcement, interdiction, crop control, antidrug education, and asset forfeiture.

Antidrug legislation recently has focused on arresting, prosecuting, and incarcerating
the distributors of controlled substances. Interdiction is an international drug control policy designed to stop drugs from entering the country illegally. Crop control focuses on the eradication of the plants from which drugs are obtained, such as cultivated marijuana plants.
Forfeiture, or asset forfeiture, is a legal procedure that authorizes judicial representatives to seize any items of value furnished or intended to be furnished by any person in exchange or a controlled substance, as well as all proceeds traceable to such an exchange. Finally, antidrug education and drug treatment focus on targeting individuals to reduce the incidence of abuse.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Drug-defined crimes are violations of laws prohibiting or regulating the possession, use, or distribution of illegal drugs. The costs of these crimes are directly attributable to illegal drug use. Drug-related crimes are not violations of drug laws but are crimes in which drugs contribute to the offense.
