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. 000898373 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (viewed June 1, 2018). 000898373 650_0 $$aDrugs$$xLaw and legislation. 000898373 650_0 $$aDrug control$$xInternational cooperation. 000898373 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aChatwin, Caroline, 1978-$$tTowards More Effective Global Drug Policies.$$dCham, Switzerland : Palgrave Macmillan, 2018$$z3319920715$$z9783319920719$$w(OCoLC)1032588382 000898373 852__ $$bebk 000898373 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-92072-6$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000898373 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:898373$$pGLOBAL_SET 000898373 980__ $$aEBOOK 000898373 980__ $$aBIB 000898373 982__ $$aEbook 000898373 983__ $$aOnline 000898373 994__ $$a92$$bISE
