Myth: Crack Baby
Manage episode 339949899 series 2880884
We discuss the myth of the crack baby that emerged from the MD Ira Chasnoff study on cocaine-exposed children and the subsequent media blitz on crack in 1985. We demonstrate how the crack baby is a media myth founded on bad science. We also examine how the crack baby myth fits within a larger counter-insurgency strategy emerging from the cold war.
