community antidrug programs
Definition
- Community antidrug programs are efforts by citizens to thwart drug activity in their neighborhoods, usually in response to the inability of the government and law enforcement to control crime and illegal drug sales in their neighborhoods. This entry begins with an overview of illegal drug selling, then focuses on the issue of outdoor drug sales, and concludes with a discussion of citizen-based strategies for combating such drug sales, including some examples of successful programs.
