With contributions from around the world, providing different perspectives and utilizing a wide range of styles and approaches including ethnographic studies, personal accounts and interviews, the book asks fundamental questions of national and international drug control systems: What have been the costs to children and young people of the war on drugs? Is the protection of children from drugs a solid justification for current policies? What kinds of public fears and preconceptions exist in relation to drugs and the drug trade? How can children and young people be placed at the forefront of drug policies? Four thematic sections address: Production and trade Race, class and law enforcement Families and drug policy Drug use and dependence The book is published by the International Debate Education Association (iDebate Press) and was edited by Damon Barrett.
