University of Essex 'Provides informative, balanced and
contextualized insights into the relationships between people and
drugs. Whatever your background and however knowledgeable you feel

Joanne Neale, Professor of Public Health, Oxford Brookes University
Why do people take drugs? How do we understand moral panics? What
is the relationship between drugs and violence? How do people's
social positions influence their involvement in drug use?
Insightful and illuminating, this book discusses drugs in social
contexts. The authors bring together their different theoretical
and practical backgrounds, offering a comprehensive and
interdisciplinary introduction that opens up a wide scientific
understanding moving beyond cultural myths and presuppositions.
This is an invaluable reference source for students on
criminology, sociology and social sciences programmes, as well as
drug service practitioners such as drug workers, social workers and
specialist nurses.
