Determinants of Public Preferences for Drug Control Alternatives. aug: au: Timberlake, Jeffrey M. Lock, Eric D.

In this article, the authors analyze a survey of residents of the five largest U.S. metropolitan areas to understand determinants of public support for spending on three major components of American drug control policy: law enforcement programs, rehabilitative services for addicts, and school-based prevention programs. The authors estimate effects of self-interest, political socialization, and policy attitudes on support for total drug control expenditures and on preferences for each drug control alternative versus the others. Effects of group self-interest, societal interest, and political socialization change dramatically across dimensions of support. Policy attitudes are strong predictors of both types of support, whereas individual self-interest measures are not associated with either dimension.
