This book describes the strategies employed in the United States by law enforcement agencies and community groups working in partnership to prevent and discourage drug dealing. It includes a discussion of both theoretical and programmatic issues.

Fight Back, designed by Michael Levine, one of the most effective narcotic agents in drug war history and the author of NY Times bestseller Deep, is a tactical anti-drug manual for families, communities and schools. Called "the only drug plan ever to come out of America that made any sense" (Swedish Carnegie Institute), the plan-unlike the, now, $1 trillion war on drugs-has proven itself effective wherever employed. Michael's challenge continues to be: "Give me the worst drug blighted neighborhood with citizens willing to join together to Fight Back and I will give you a drug free community."

Looks at how prosecution of offenders is evolving in the contemporary legal milieu.
