Consider This: Drug Policy Reform — How the War on Drugs Fuels Organised Crime
Neil Woods is a former undercover police officer who spent 14 years infiltrating some of the UK’s most dangerous criminal networks. His frontline experience with law enforcement showed him the unintended consequences of drug prohibition—consequences that not only shaped his perspective but have also made him a leading voice for global drug policy reform. On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris explores how the war on drugs and prohibition policies have created lucrative black markets, which are often controlled by organised crime groups. Neil Woods is a board member of the Law Enforcement Action Partnership (LEAP) which is a group made up entirely of serving and former police and other law enforcement, advocating for evidence-based drug policy and criminal justice reforms.
