Synopsis

Arizona and California have passed ballot initiatives that were expected to divert minor, nonviolent drug offenders from incarceration to treatment? But what are the characteristics of imprisoned lowlevel drug offenders? Did the quantity or type of drug involved influence the prosecution pattern, and were there differences across racial groups in the prosecution of lowlevel drug offenders? This study is intended to fill those knowledge gaps.
