| The first effects of the epidemic started in the early 1980s, but the DEA officially classifies the time of the epidemic starting in 1984 and ending in 1990, in what can be considered to be the height of the epidemic.The epidemic affected all major American cities.Among the cities most severely impacted were Chicago, Washington, D.Los Angeles and New York.More important from a marketing standpoint, it produced an instant high and its users became addicted in a very short time.That was proven wrong when it first appeared in New York City in December, 1983.The distribution and use of the drug exploded that same year and by the end of 1986, was available in 28 states and the District of Columbia.Between 1984 and 1987, cocaine incidents increased fourfold.Some scholars have cited the crack "epidemic" as an example of a moral panic, noting that the explosion in use and trafficking of the drug actually occurred after the media coverage of the drug as an "epidemic."Coverage of the report was buried in the back pages of the major newspapers and all but ignored by the three major networks."Between 1984 and 1994, the homicide rate for black males aged 14 to 17 more than doubled, and the homicide rate for black males aged 18 to 24 increased nearly as much.Inciardi, 1994) Once the drug became embedded in the particular communities, the economic environment that was best suited for its survival caused further social disintegration within that city.End of the epidemic
Violence from the Crack Epidemic ended as suddenly as it had begun.Reasons for the drop in crime are not officially known.During the 1990s, being called a crackhead became an insult in urban culture.Alfred Blumstein, a criminologist from Carnegie Mellon University stated the following factors for the end of the epidemic:
"There are four major factors in the drop in crime," he says.US Department of Justice, 1991, USDoJ.The Crack Attack: Politics and Media in America's Latest Drug Scare.New York: Aldine de Gruyter, 1989; see also Reeves, J.July 16 2001) "Defining John Kerry".How bad was Crack Cocaine?Spreading rapidly and extensively by infection and affecting many individuals in an area or a population at the same time: an epidemic outbreak of influenza.Published by Houghton Mifflin Company.Share This
