18. 63 argued that once the size of a market is declining, law enforcement may accelerate the decline by maintaining a constant arrest rate, thus increasing the individual risks of arrest for the remaining market participants. For example, the decline in crack use at the end of the 1980s was first attributed to social stigma; that is, to observations among the population of the damaging effects it has on users.
