Glendale Cocaine Addiction - Attorney General Continues Push for Cocaine Sentencing Reform

Glendale Cocaine Addiction - In keeping with President Obama's agenda, the Attorney General has continued his campaign for reform of cocaine sentencing disparities.

Attorney General Eric Holder asked for crack cocaine sentencing reform on Wednesday. Holder wishes to see more consistent sentences between the crack and powder forms of the drug.

Speaking at Harvard Law School, the Attorney General called the discrepancies in sentencing for different types of the drug unwarranted. He asked for the Department of Justice's cooperation in the matter.

Currently, sentences are much harsher on offenders caught using and selling crack rather than powder cocaine. Some social justice advocates claim that the sentencing disparity harms the African-American community.
