Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reduction in systemic violence since the late 1990s has been most significant for crack cocaine. Research has shown that the crack epidemic in the 1980s and early 1990s was associated with high levels of violence, including homicides, gang activity, and other crimes. However, since the late 1990s, there has been a decline in the use of crack cocaine, and with it, a marked reduction in associated violence. While there have been efforts to reduce violence associated with other drugs such as heroin and ecstasy, the reduction has not been as significant as that observed for crack cocaine. LSD is not typically associated with systemic violence.
