Rezensionen

"Starting out from an original conceptual premise and jam-packed with insightful fieldwork observations, Tim Turner's Disneyization of Drug Use is not just a valuable new addition to the criminological literature on drugs and tourism, it also works as an alternative, high-octane expose of Ibiza's fabled club and bar scene. If you've ever wondered what lies behind 'The White Isle's' global reputation as the epicentre of clubbing and youthful excess, look no further."

Keith Hayward, Professor of Criminology, University of Copenhagen, Denmark
