Description

Explore a vital sociological study on the rise of illicit drug use in China. Following the 1978 economic reforms and the open-door policy, heroin use became a significant social issue, with a rapid increase in female users. This book addresses the lack of existing research regarding women's experiences within this shifting social landscape. Based on intensive interviews with 131 female heroin users, this work provides a detailed look at the lives and drug use careers of women in China. It offers a unique perspective on how a rapidly changing society impacts addiction and the specific challenges faced by female users. This text is an essential resource for students, researchers, and professionals interested in criminology, sociology, and the social impacts of China's economic evolution.
