Drug Abuse and Social Policy in America

The War That Must Be Won

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Drug Abuse and Social Policy in America analyzes why our current policy on the use of licit and illicit mood-altering drugs has failed. It addresses differences between decriminalization, legalization, and "zero tolerance" - areas and philosophies that are poorly understood - and suggests a multipronged approach to diminishing inappropriate drug use.
