drug enforcement
Anti-trafficking law work
Drug enforcement is the work of detecting, preventing, and prosecuting illegal drug activity.
The term appears most often in institutional names like the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and in discussions of policy: Drug enforcement efforts have focused on border interdiction.
Critics debate whether drug enforcement reduces harm or creates it.
