International drug control into the 21st Century
This volume, edited by Executive Director of the International Narcotics Control Board, Dr Hamid Ghodse, provides a comprehensive analysis of drug use and dependence today and the responses adopted in different parts of the world.
The book covers various controversial issues, taking into account the way in which pressure groups would like to see changes in national and/or international drug control regimes. Among the many topics discussed are: the legalisation of drugs; prevention, treatment and rehabilitation; supply and demand reduction; and money laundering. The book is designed as a resource for professionals and academics in law enforcement, health and social services, behavioural sciences, pharmacy and drug regulatory agencies. The material is drawn from extensive studies carried out by the UN over the last 15 years and each theme has been examined by a group of experts.
