      abstract = {This book examines the topical issue of global drug policy  and outlines five steps that could be taken to improve its  effectiveness. A public criminology approach is applied to  explore not only what could be done, but also why it  matters and how it could be achieved. It argues that more  effective global drug policies require an acknowledgement  of the failure of a war on drugs approach and the harms it  has caused. Instead, strategies that reduce drug related  harm should be prioritised. An innovative and diverse range  of approaches should be developed that are underpinned by  evaluation and dissemination of results. Finally, the  horizons of the drug policy debate should be broadened. In  line with the central aims of public criminology, this book  provides an accessible contribution to global drug policy  debates that links theory and practice and which will have  appeal to a wide range of audiences.},
