'This book is without doubt the most scholarly and significant contribution to what has become a passionate but circular debate ... overall this is an experts' expert book and it is likely to become the classic text on drug policy reform.' British Medical Journal
The first effort to provide a nonpartisan and objective analysis of how the US should approach the drug legalization question. The book shows that legalization involves different tradeoffs between health and crime and the interests of the inner city minority communities and the middle class.

Seller: BOOKHOME SYDNEY, Annandale Sydney, NSW, Australia
Paperback thick octavo, very good condition, minor edgewear. 479 pp. Robert Maccoun and Peter Reuter have meticulously researched drug policy, and are the first to provide a nonpartisan and objective analysis of how the United States should approach drug legalization. They survey what is known about the effects of different drug policies in Western Europe (notably Netherlands) and what happened when cocaine and heroin were legal in the US a century ago. They show that legalization involves different tradeoffs between health and crime, and between the interests of inner city minority communities and the middle class. They explain why it is so difficult to accomplish substantial reform of drug policy. Seller Inventory # 13751
