Description

Drugs, Crime and Public Health: The Political Economy of Drug Policy offers a critical look at recent policies regarding illicit drugs. Published by Routledge, this text provides an accessible discussion of how drug policy functions within a larger social framework. By using a comparative approach, the book focuses on the UK while providing valuable insights and data from the USA and other international locations. This book moves beyond simple explanations by presenting new empirical evidence that challenges common ways of thinking about illicit substances. It argues that problematic drug use cannot be separated from the social context in which it occurs. Because drug use shares a common context with other public health and crime issues, this text helps readers understand the complex connections between social environments and policy outcomes. It is an essential resource for those studying the intersection of law, social science, and health.
