This interdisciplinary collection examines the role that alcohol,
tobacco and other drugs have played in framing certain groups and
spaces as 'dangerous' and in influencing the nature of formal
responses to the perceived threat. Taking a historical and
cross-national perspective, it explores how such groups and spaces
are defined and bounded as well as the processes by which they come
to be seen as 'risky'. It discusses how issues of perceived danger
highlight questions of control and the management of behaviours,
people and environments, and it pays attention to the way in which
sanctions and regulations have been implemented in a variety of
often inconsistent ways that frequently impact differently on
different sections of the population. Bringing together a range of
case studies drawn from different countries and across different
periods of time, the chapters collected here illustrate issues of
marginalisation, stigmatisation, human rights and social
expectations. It is of interest to a diverse audience of
historians, philosophers, human geographers, anthropologists,
sociologists and criminologists interested in substance use and
misuse, deviance, risk and power among other topics.
