'Drugs in Britain is a useful and accessible introduction to an important policy area, and one that does exactly what it says on the tin.' - David Bowes, Thames View (Thames Valley Police) 'This book, specifically aimed at an undergraduate audience, attempts to discuss some of the contradictions and controversies surrounding illegal drug use in Britain. Each chapter contains advice on further readings and there are study questions which students and practitioners may find useful. Most of the chapters are individually fascinating...' - Richard H. Kimberlee, Youth & Policy ...good introductory reading for researchers new to the field, and...also of use to policy makers in the drug, social justice and health fields." Edwin van Teijlingen, University of Aberdeen
