Professor of Public Policy at the NYU Marron Institute for Urban Management and editor of the Journal of Drug Policy Analysis. Teaches about the methods of policy analysis about drug abuse control and crime control policy, working out the implications of two principles: that swift and certain sanctions don't have to be severe to be effective, and that well-designed threats usually don't have to be carried out.

Nothing will induce these guys to speak out against someone who could become president and who would have the power (and exercise it) to exact revenge against his growing list of enemies.
Nothing Trump says or does will turn away his supporters. It would be fun to see him walk across the stage at the next debate, reach down the front of Carly Fiorina’s dress, and shout, “What we need is more cleavage here and less cleavage in the Republican Party!” His true believers would love it and all of his politically correct detractors could cluck their pathetic heads off.
