THE WAR ON DRUGS

IDENTITY CRISIS:

The law enforcement community and prosecutors in the state of Arizona 
aren't taking identity theft as it relates to meth use as seriously 
as they should ("Ice, Ice, Baby," Robert Nelson and Joe Watson, November 24).

If identity theft were aggressively investigated and prosecuted, the 
meth problem would be reduced. Law enforcement officers in Maricopa 
County state that there is a direct connection between meth use and 
identity theft, but only the Maricopa County Attorney's Office is 
taking identity theft as seriously as it should.
