Text 3 The us Law Enforcement Activities in the Struggle against Drugs
Basically, there are two strategies by which the US law enforcement bodies discourage illicit drug use:
the first strategy seeks to disrupt and discourage use by enforcing domestic laws against drug use and internal trafficking;
the second strategy seeks to prevent supplies of illicit drugs from entering the country, either by preventing their cultivation (выращивание) abroad or by intercepting shipments to the United States.
The latter strategy is largely the work of federal agents, although state and local agencies may occasionally participate. The efforts (действия) to control illicit drug use within the United States are conducted by federal, state, and local agents.
Occasionally these different levels of government join forces and work together; however, they act independently, jealously (ревностно) guarding their ‘turf’ (i.e. their resources and sources of information) from one another.
Exercise 18. Answer the following questions:
1. How do the US law enforcement bodies discourage illicit drug use?
2. What forces control illicit drug use in the United States?
