Criminal Justice: Assessing the DARE Program

Assessing the DARE Program

The
DARE Program and its effectiveness and continued funding has become a
source of heated public debate over the past few years, as the program
frequently becomes a target of budget
cuts, despite its huge popularity with parents. The program is often
cited as ineffective in reducing drug usage by those graduating from the
program.

Write a 2-3 page paper. Address the following in your paper:

1. Should the DARE Program be discontinued? Why or why not?
2. Are
   there any other unintended consequences of the DARE Program that should
   be considered when the program is assessed? If so, what are they and
   why are they important to consider?

You MUST
use a total of 3-5 references provided along with one from the Internet and not
Wikipedia. Please adhere
to the APA format when writing and submitting papers. Papers should be
grammatically correct. Lastly, avoid first person and contractions in
your paper. You can provide an opinion without using “I think”
statements.
