E-grāmata: Drug Policy Constellations: The Role of Power and Morality in the Making of Drug Policy in the UK

"A rich, explanatory tool in the analysis of policy processes. It will appeal to those conducting drug policy analysis, seeking to influence drug policy, to understand the role (or not) of evidence, and to understand how policy decisions are made and taken." Addiction "There is a richness and a depth to this book; it can be read and re-read with new ideas emerging each time." Drugs: Education, Prevention and Policy "Drug Policy Constellations provides original theoretical and empirical approaches to understanding drug policy making. The book is clearly written, engaging, humorous in places, and interesting throughout. It will be useful for both policy researchers and those wanting to influence policy." International Criminal Justice Review A masterly critical realist exploration of UK drug policy making, utilising the concept of constellations to analyse the power of values and interests, along with savvy politics, to influence what gets done. Susanne MacGregor, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and Middlesex University "An illuminating and important insight into the frequently weird and occasionally wonderful world of drug policy." Steve Rolles, Transform Drug Policy Foundation
