What was used to correct the sentencing disparities between crack cocaine offenders and powder cocaine offenders?

Question

Just Say No Act

Fair Sentencing Act

Crack Cocaine Act

Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988

Answer 1

The correct answer is the Fair Sentencing Act. It was enacted in 2010 to address the sentencing disparities between crack cocaine offenders and powder cocaine offenders. The previous laws, such as the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988, had imposed much harsher sentences for crack cocaine offenses compared to powder cocaine offenses. The Fair Sentencing Act aimed to reduce this disparity and bring about more equitable sentencing for drug offenses.
