Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Control of illegal drug use and abuse requires an elaborate network
of organizations and professions: medical, legal, political,
educational, and welfare. This book, first published in 1984,
explores the way in which these diverse sectors coordinate the
control of deviance in a complex society and how they respond to a
sudden widespread increase in deviance spanning many institutional
and professional domains. The latter of these concerns, James
Beniger argues, affords us a unique insight into the more general
question of societal control. He takes as an example of this
phenomenon the dramatic appearance of the 'drug problem' in America
in the Vietnam war era of the late 1960s and early 1970s.
Exploiting this as an approximation of an experimentally induced
disruption of society, Professor Beniger examines its impact on the
interorganizational and professional networks that together
constitute a system for the control of a social deviance.
