Sinopse

Illicit drugs and their use are now, more than ever, a dominant concern of politicians, policy makers and the general public. Often, our understandings of the âÇÖdrug problemâÇÖ tend to be uni-dimensional and based around particular areas of risk: drug related crime, dependency andáill-health. This book moves beyond this single issue approach and locates illicit drug use in its wider context, with chapters on:the history of illicit drug useámeasuring the âÇÖproblemâÇÖlegal and medical responses to illicit drug usethe illicit drugs marketdrugs, crime and trends in drug policy.Drawing information from wide-ranging sources, Adrian Barton illuminates the complex nature and broad impact illicit drug use carries in its wake and provides an overview of the contemporary state of the drug âÇÖsceneâÇÖ. This book will be essential reading for students and researchers working in the area of drugs and society.
