Press Releases
Dr. G. D’Anne Hancock Weise’s The Criminalization of Addiction tells the gripping story of her son, Scott Hancock, whose compassionate act of sharing his prescription medication led to a 20-year federal prison sentence under drug-induced homicide laws. The book exposes the human cost of mandatory minimums and prosecutorial overreach, highlighting a system that punishes addiction rather than treating it.
Blending personal experience with rigorous research, Dr. Weise’s work advocates for evidence-based, restorative approaches to addiction, aiming to inspire reform, spark conversation, and bring compassion back into America’s justice system.
