escalation of drug abuse and drug-relatedviolence,\"said John J.Kenney,NYCLA president.  \nThe NYCLA Task Force found that thecurrent \"penal\"model of drug policy with itsemphasis on arrest,prosecution and incarcerationof offenders has managed neither to curb substanceabuse nor to reduce violence associated with theillicit drug trade.  \nIn recommending replacement of the currentpenal model with its criminalization of substanceabusers by a public health model emphasizingeducation,vocational assistance and access tomedical treatment,the Task Force stopped short
