Drugs and Crime [EPUB ebook] 
Theories and Practices

Ủng hộ

Why are we so concerned about drugs and crime? Is the relationship
between drug-taking and criminal behaviour as straightforward as it
is sometimes made to appear? What should be done about the problem?
This thought-provoking book argues that much current thinking
about drugs and crime is simplistic and misguided, because it fails
to take into account the complex social and psychological contexts
that underpin the relationship between drug or alcohol problems and
crime. In clear and accessible language, it reviews existing
explanations of the links between drugs and crime, and assesses the
practical approaches currently being taken to tackle the problems
involved.
Key topics covered include:
* The kinds of substance uses society finds acceptable and
normal, and the reasons for these categorisations
* What causes offending, drug use and drug problems across the
life course
* Regulating the illicit drugs industry
* Addressing poverty and social exclusion, which are key drivers
of drugs and crime.
Drugs and crime are of concern to us all. This textbook will be
of great value to advanced undergraduate and graduate students
across the social sciences and in health and social care, including
those studying criminology, psychology, medical sociology, social
policy, social work or criminal justice. It will also be of
interest to academics, practitioners and policy makers in these
fields.
