Each day we are reminded
of the ever present drug
culture. We read about it in
the paper, hear about it on
the radio and television and
in some cases, we may
actually know of a friend or
relative who is caught up in
the dangerous game of
narcotics. We tend to look at
some of the real life problems
as just another T.V. show. We
have perhaps witnessed so
much of the drug scene on
television that many people
have an almost indifferent
attitude toward the ills and
violence so often associated
with drug abuse. But this
attitude is destined to

generate a collision course
with danger. Once we develop
the opinion that what the
dxug user does with his own
life is his own business, we
will have taken the first giant
step backward.
Consider for a moment the
likelihood of an addict having
enough money to purchase
hard narcotics. Is it mere
concidence that the vast
majority of addicts are also
thieves, burglars, or
prostitutes? Police files show
that the “progfessional”
burflar, the one after the big
haul, is more than likely also
going to be a user of hard
narcotics. How can we sit
back and say it isn’t our
problem when we are having
to pay the price for his
crimes? What is the price of
hard narcotics? Look at the
facts. An addict will steal a
brand new medium to large
size car, dive it into Old
Mexico and will receive a
payment of two ounces of
heroin. A compact car (new)
brings up to VA ounces, while
a caterpillar tractor, combine,
or cotton picking machine
brings up to three ounces of
heroin. A well-equipped
pick-up truck will also net a
couple of ounces of the
expensive narcotic. The
problem is not one easily
dealt with. To overcome a
local drug traffic situation
requires the combined efforts
of every citizen from every
economic level of the
community. It requires that
people set aside the old idea
that they are not a valid
resource and therefore cannot
help. But above all, it requires
that parents take an active
part in rearing their children.
Several years ago, an
officer in charge of the
juvenile section of a detective
division participated in a
substantial number of raids
over a three year period. One a
thing that stood out far above
all other attitudes was the
lack of parental concern for
youngsters until the child
became confronted by the
CRIMINAL JUSTICE
SYSTEM. Time and time
again, it is shown that the
mother and father will go to
great length to get the youth
“off the hook”, once the
facts of the crime are known
to the police. The latter
attitude is not in itself a bad
thing. However, all too often
the parent is not concerned
about the child’s involvment
in relation to the drug scene,
but their concern lies in the f
fact that the youth was
caught. It is not good enough
to show superficial concern in
a crisis. A parent must do
more than go through the
motions. They must be
concerned and interested
before the police corrte
knocking on the doors.
In the long run, we all pay
the cost of crime. Therefore,
crime is everybodys business
and can only be reduced Or
eliminated when everybody
recognizes that they, as an
individual and collectively
can do something about it in
their own community. Where
can we start? Cri me
