Summary

The increase in drugs-related research in recent decades is reflected in this series which collects the most significant published articles and papers on the sociology and criminology of drug abuse. The journal articles are selected from a variety of relevant disciplines including economics, sociology, psychology, criminology, criminal justice, medicine and social work, and are all peer reviewed. The articles provide a thorough review of recent literature, an intellectual critique of the relevant studies and identify gaps in research and policy relating to drug abuse and crime.
