Edna Bonacich(1972)将分裂的劳动力市场动态作为种族对抗的内容和过程的基础的理论表述被扩展并应用于对美国禁毒法律发展的历史分析。反对鸦片、可卡因、酒精和大麻的运动和由此产生的立法受到了一种分裂的劳动力市场分析的影响,这种分析结合了道德恐慌的概念和对法律可能被用作促进阶级利益的“武器”的理解。文章的结论是,这些运动中的每一个都是潜在的劳动力市场分裂动态的结果,并增加了Bonacich最初的公式,即高薪劳动力群体对威胁性劳动力群体的犯罪化反应。
Edna Bonacich's (1972) theoretical formulation of Split labor market dynamics as underlying the content and process of ethnic antagonism is expanded and applied to an historical analysis of the development of antidrug laws in the United States. The campaigns and resultant legislation against opium, cocaine, alcohol, and marijuana are subjected to a split labor market analysis that incorporates the notion of moral panics and an understanding of the ways in which law may be used as a “weapon” in the furtherance of class interests. The article concludes that each of these campaigns came about as the result of an underlying split labor market dynamic and adds to Bonacich's original formulation the response of criminalization of the threatening labor group by the higher-paid labor group.
