Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: t is often the case that Congress tends to support punitive drug legislation versus rehabilitative drug legislation. Why is there such an emphasis on punitive drug legislation? Why do Congressmen support such legislation? This paper will address these questions by answering a larger question, what role do internal determinants, particularly demographics, play in Congressional decision-making on punitive crime policies? This paper will focus upon the demographic similarities and differences between the congressmen?s respective states and their vote to uphold certain punitive crime policies. Further, this research aims to investigate a relationship between how certain Congressmen voted on the Anti-drug Abuse Acts passed during the 1980s and whether their respective states share similar characteristics. As such this paper will focus on punitive drug legislation (passed, rejected, and amended) during the war on drugs era of the late 1980s.
