About this title

Review:

'It isn't often that one reads a book that one would have loved to have the ability, experience, knowledge, analytic ability, and, one has to say, 'bravery' to write. Without doubt, it is the best book on drug policy that I have ever read.' -Professor Jason Ditton, Scottish Centre for Criminology, UK

'...an excellent book...' - Peter Hitchens, DailyMail.co.uk

'...includes harrowing testimony from children growing up in families where drug abuse was prevalent...' - The Times

'McKeganey's book, Controversies in Drug Policy and Practice, is exactly that- controversial, but at the same integral to any reasoned debate about drugs and prohibition.' - Tammy Ayres, University of Leicester

Book Description:

Lively and provocative throughout, this book directly challenges the current place of illegal drugs in society, inspiring fresh debate on a topic of deep public and professional interest
