Summary
'Drugs, Crime and Public Health' provides a critical discussion of recent policy on illicit drugs. Using a comparative approach, centred on the UK, but with insights and data gathered from the USA and other countries, it argues that problematic drug use can only be understood in the social context in which it takes place.
