Which strategy (or strategies) do you think makes most sense to implement in response to drug crime?
In response to drug crime, I think order-maintaining police would be the best to implement. This type of policing involves keeping watch of certain parts of cities where violence/suspicious acts are more likely to occur. Usually, the police will be about to narrow down a few people suspicious of selling/using drugs. After that, they can figure out where this is most likely happening and patrol that area more frequently and attentively so the risk of these criminals committing drug crimes will decrease and the ability of the police to catch them will increase. If these people who are selling/using drugs see police circling an area, it will be less likely that they will commit these acts because they know they are being watched, especially around parks and playgrounds. Implementing this type of police will help decrease drug crime.
