Observations were made of the target group of consumers of drugs, and the abuse pertaining to that, with further study into the diverse drugs that are often times abused. Efforts were also undertaken to suggest preventive measures and various case studies as to how this social stigma is affecting our society. I have found that media has played a key role in promoting substance abuse. More than $25 billion per year is spent in advertising tobacco, alcohol and prescription drugs and such advertisements have been effective too. Because substance abuse and delinquency are interrelated, identifying substance-abusing youth in the juvenile justice system is an important first step for intervening in both their substance abuse and their delinquent behavior. Drug identification strategies, followed by effective interventions, help prevent further illicit drug use and delinquency.
