Preferred term

crack epidemic  

Definition(s)

  • Crack epidemic refers to the significant increase in the use of crack cocaine in the United States during the early 1980s. Crack cocaine was popularized because of its affordability; its immediate euphoric effect, which helped individuals escape their social and economic dilemmas; and its high profitability, which provided opportunities for some to move up the “economic ladder.” The relevance of the crack epidemic to the topic of race and crime lies in the increase of addictions, deaths, and drug-related crimes that took place mostly within the African American community of the inner city.
