International Drug Control into the 21st Century
Ashgate Publishing, July 2008, Pages: 242
This volume provides a comprehensive analysis of drug misuse, dependence and the ways in which different parts of the world have responded to these problems. The book examines aspects of the contemporary drug problem, the related debate and the way in which society is responding to it.
Various controversial issues are covered, taking into account the way in which pressure groups would like to see changes in national and/or international drug control regimes. The book is drawn from extensive studies carried out by the UN over the last 15 years. Each of the themes has been examined by a group of experts and lends itself to debate, for example, the legalisation of drugs, prevention, treatment, rehabilitation, the macro and micro economy, supply and demand reduction, and money laundering are among the many topics discussed.
This book will be a valuable resource for professionals and academics in law enforcement, health, social services, behavioural sciences, pharmacy, and drug regulatory agencies.
