Phase 5 - Task 1Task Type:	Discussion BoardDeliverable Length:	400–600 words Reminder: Initial Discussion Board posts due by Wednesday,Clearly, drug addiction and the crime related to drug addiction has impacted the U.S. criminal justice system. The effectiveness of the War on Drugs has been debated at great length by scholars, criminal justice professionals, addiction professionals, and the general public. While there is no consensus on how effective the War on Drugs has been, most can agree that it has not achieved the results that were its original goal.In August 2013, the US Attorney General, Eric Holder announced that the Dept. of Justice would not pursue charging low-level, non-violent drug offenders with crimes that carried mandatory minimum sentences. He stated in his speech to the American Bar Association that “Long sentences for low-level, non-violent drug offenses do not promote public safety, deterrence, and rehabilitation.”Research alternatives to traditional incarceration for drug offenses, and propose an alternative to incarceration for non-violent drug users charged with drug possession. Your proposal should address the following:    How addiction contributes to the user’s criminal behavior, and how your proposal will aid the user in changing that behavior; and    How your proposed alternative will positively impact the criminal justice system and its different components (police, the courts, and corrections).
