- Abstract (Swedish)
- En sak är säker är att det judiciella systemet inte är lösningen till drog problemet. Det blev väldigt klart att både länderna dvs. Sverige och USA ha svårigheter att allokera resurser till det som är mest effektivt. Både länderna ha över det senaste århundradet tagit liknande och annorlunda steg till narkotika problemet. Den svenska drog politiken är mycket mer sammansvetsad än den av U.S. men det är inte konstigt i och med det är mycket enklare att ha en klar policy när man är ett litet land med en liten population. USA ha tagit en mycket mer divers drog policy över åren, men även om det ha gjort det så finns det ändå många likheter med Sverige vilket denna uppsatsen kommer att upptäcka.
- Abstract
- One clear thing is that the judicial system is not the solution to the narcotic problems. It became apparent that both countries, i.e., Sweden and the U.S., struggle to allocate resources that are the most effective properly. Both countries have, over the past decade, taken both similar and different narcotic approaches. The Swedish drug policy is much more cohesive than that of the U.S., but that is not surprising considering it is much easier to be a small nation with a reasonably small population and one body that can make laws. The U.S. is much more diverse in how they have handled the narcotics issue over time, yet they still have some similarities with Sweden, which this paper explores.
