This title offers an in-depth analysis of the causes, consequences
and treatments of illicit drug abuse. The author examines the
effects of existing drug policies and proposes drug use
legalisation within a regulated market as a viable alternative.
Joshua assesses the factors that make individuals vulnerable to
drug abuse and the pathways they may follow. As well as exploring
the physical and psychological effects on the individual, Joshua
examines the social and economic consequences for society. He
highlights the pitfalls of a purely legal approach to drug abuse,
which is primarily a health matter, and questions whether special
drugs courts could be used as an alternative to the present
criminal justice system. This book adds to the debate on whether
most drugs could be sold in a regulated market in the same way as
other drugs are, such as alcohol or nicotine. This is the third
title in a four volume series 'The Economics of Addictive
Behaviours', consisting of three additional volumes on smoking,
alcohol abuse and overeating.
