Question 3 • US History

What was a result of Reagan’s "war on drugs”?

Answer
A
State drug-control agencies took over federal agencies.
B
The number of people sent to jail skyrocketed.
C
Drug control agencies were overextended so security weakened.
D
Sentencing laws were reduced in favor of drug recovery plans.

Explanation

A major result of Reagan’s “war on drugs” was a sharp increase in arrests and imprisonment, driven in part by tougher drug laws and longer sentences. Therefore, “the number of people sent to jail skyrocketed” is the correct choice; sentencing laws were generally made harsher, not reduced in favor of recovery plans.
