Marijuana, Law Enforcement and Young New Yorkers | The New School – Study non-profit management, urban and environmental policy, human resources, and international affairs at the Milano School of International Affairs, Management, and Urban Policy, a part of The New School in New York City. | www.newschool.edu According to the New York Division of Criminal Justice Services, 70 percent of the 50383 arrests for possession of marijuana in New York City in 2010 were of young people under thirty, and 86 percent of those arrested were black and Latino. The debate on the classification of marijuana possession as a crime is heating up nationwide, even as the number of arrests in New York has risen. Many substance abuse professionals, public officials, and community anti-crime activists support a drug enforcement strategy that includes “broken windows” policing and drug treatment.
