The TED Talk by Bart de Koning presents a clear argument and that's that the approach politicians and the justice system have had on the War on Drugs has been deemed to fail in multiple aspects, by killing individuals, increasing the length of the sentence, adding more police enforcement into these communities, and increasing the amount of time and money allocated for resources on drug control. All of these things have not changed the trends, but rather we see more and more drugs being imported and in the streets since the 1970s initiative on drugs. Koning mentions the promising experiments in England that target crime, and it’s interesting because the American criminal justice system and policing were established on English practices. In England, they are using scientific experiments to find a solution to crime and drug control. They are looking at results in numbers of successful cases of individuals that move away from drugs and crime through rehabilitation and support by the government, compared to rates of crime in people who are sentenced to jail time.
