              Calculating the economic cost of drug-related crime

              “Drugs and crime go hand in hand.” It’s a message that’s been burned into our minds since before Nixon declared his War on Drugs.

In recent years, many U.S. colleges and universities have made efforts to educate students on the dangers of binge drinking, and change behavior. Those efforts may ...
