Report on decline of crack 'epidemic'

Dear fellow list members,
I read a report in yesterday's UK 'Guardian' newspaper about a new and
fairly controversial report which has appeared in the US, suggesting that
the fall in the US homicide rates in selected cities is more a result of the
decline of the crack 'epidemic' than any zero tolerance policing programmes.
Unfortunately, no reference was given - I wonder if anyone can let me know
the details of the report, or of any published critical responses to it?
(The information for the 'Guardian' article had been taken from the 'New
York Times').
Thanks in advance for your help,
Sharon.
