The final report of the Committee on Data and Research for Policy on Illegal Drugs, assessing the knowledge available and needed to inform US national drug control policy. The executive summary of the earlier Phase I Report is appended. The committee members--economists, social scientists, and legal scholars--soon realized that the nation possesses little information about the effectiveness of current drug policy, and so are unable to offer even a suggestive basis for choosing among prevention, treatment, and enforcement. c.
