law enforcementand treatment responses. Clearly written,
unfailingly lucid, andadmirably accurate, this book will be the
indispensable work onBritish drug policy for many years to come."
Professor Michael Tonry, University of Minnesota Law School,
USA"What makes this book particularly interesting is the
refreshingly non judgmental presentation which conveys the essence
of very important issues in contemporary society. Therefore, this
is an ideal text not only for students but also for policy makers,
drugs and alcohol counsellors, treatment agencies and everyone
interested in doing research on drugs, alcohol and crime."
Nicoletta Policek, University of Abertay, Dundee "The publication
is not only an excellent summary of the existing research in Great
Britain, and to a lesser extent from other jurisdictions, it is a
foundation for future research by evoking , and at times provoking,
questions and offering a variety of possible responses." Hirsch
Greenberg, University of Regina What is the connection between
drugs, alcohol and crime? What works in reducing drugs and
alcohol-related crime? The book provides a succinct overview of
current theory and research on the links between drugs, alcohol use
and crime. It discusses the legal and social context of drug and
alcohol use and identifies current levels of consumption. Focusing
on the UK context, it also takes into account international
research where appropriate. Detailed review of the research
literature on the connections between drug use and crime Examines
the current government anti-drugs policy and assesses the
effectiveness of programmes that have been used to reduce drug and
alcohol-related crime. The book concludes that future government
drugs policy should pay particular attention to the lessons learned
from research on the connection between drug and alcohol use and
crime. Ideal for criminology, criminal justice, social policy and
social work students, this book will also be a useful source of
information for policy makers, the police, probation workers,
social workers, drugs and alcohol counsellors, treatment agencies,
sentencers, voluntary agencies, Drug Action Teams, and others with
an interest in research on drugs and crime.
