A hypothesis implies that your paper will be able to reach some sort of conclusion…or maybe it is just mostly for fact finding? Is this for criminal justice or English class? Here’s my ideas based on the limited info you gave us:
–History of the war against drug abuse
–effect of increased security measures (post 9-11) on drug arrests/confiscations
–investigate the latest epidemic of Rx drug abuse by youth
–relationship between economic status and drug abuse
–glorification of drug usage in the media
–who are the youngest victims of drug abuse?
–or just pick one type of drug and investigate the increase or decrease in any given socio-economic group or geographic area or age group, etc.
