The "war on drugs" has traditionally held total abstinence as its
target. The contributors to this book argue that abstinence is not
the only solution. They believe that existing methods of treatment
and control have been inadequate in controlling or improving drug
problems and they propose a radical alternative: reducing the harm
associated with the use of illicit drugs. International in scope,
the book covers a broad range of drugs, and of social and
individual problems. The spread of HIV infection, which has been
described as a greater threat to individual and public health than
drug misuse is also considered. The contributors give an overview
of the current theories and practices that have helped to minimize
the harmful effects of drugs and describe national and city-level
strategies towards drug problems. They also cover the drug policies
of several agencies and organizations world-wide, including police,
doctors, community groups and local authorities. This book should
be of interest to professionals and students of social policy and
criminology, policy-makers, local governments and health
professionals.
