Contemporary Drug Policy: New Directions in Critical Criminology
Autor Henry Brownsteinen Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 ian 2013
The evidence is clear that at some times, in some circumstances, and in some places drugs are a problem. This book does not ignore these issues but shifts our attention to making policies that also recognize their legitimate and constructive place in society. It focuses on asking questions, challenging assumptions, and developing responses to drugs based on evidence from scientific study as directed by critical criminological theory rather than mainstream theory or unfounded assumptions.
Different from other books on drug policy, this book does not offer answers or solutions. Rather it shows how critical criminological theories can lead scientific research in new directions supportive of policies that offer both solutions to problems that are found to be related to drugs and an appreciation for the benefits that drugs can bring to people and society. This book will be of interest to those studying or researching drug policy as well as professionals involved in policy making processes.

Recenzii
This book highlights an original approach to the issue of drug policy and the author provides a necessary view on the topic that does not just consider the ‘war on drugs’ approach. Rather than focus on drugs as a problem or people involved with drugs as victims or beneficiaries, the author argues for a critical criminological theoretical approach that views drugs as a part of normal social experience. He argues for a realist approach to drug policy that views drugs in terms of how they can be part of society in ways that enhance rather than diminish the lives of all people. This book provides a valuable addition to an overview of such a worldwide problem and one that provides important new insights on drug policy.
