Drug abuse and social policy in America

by Barry Stimmel

Cover of Drug abuse and social policy in America

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.
