Why is it beneficial to form partnerships between schools, the government, and law enforcement agencies when addressing illegal drug use prevention?

Responses will vary. A sample response follows: By approaching illegal drug use from a variety of perspectives, communities hope to improve their drug use prevention programs. Each group has its own resources and consequent advantages. By combining their resources, communities and their partners are approaching the problem from all possible angles. This should yield a higher success rate in the reduction and prevention of drug use.
