'Drugs in Britain is a useful and accessible introduction to an important policy area, and one that does exactly what it says on the tin.' - David Bowes, Thames View (Thames Valley Police) 'This book, specifically aimed at an undergraduate audience, attempts to discuss some of the contradictions and controversies surrounding illegal drug use in Britain.
