	Mandatory Minimum Sentencing Not Cost Effective, Says New Research Report From RAND (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		The cocaine control strategies compared by the authors are: 1) longer sentences for typical offenders at all levels of government; 2) conventional enforcement of typical offenders at all levels of government; 3) federal mandatory minimum sentences for high-level dealers; 4) conventional enforcement by federal government for high-level dealers; and 5) treatment of heavy users.
		The authors state that such enforcement allows the government to seize the assets of the dealers, and to eliminate their income, thus the cost burden on the dealer is greater and consequently more effective.
		RAND concluded that the most cost-effective method of reducing cocaine consumption is treatment of heavy users.
