Description

Discussing illegal drugs without taking into account its criminal context is a difficult proposition. Certain questions come back repeatedly: Does doing drugs really lead to delinquency? Do some drugs have criminal properties? Why would a drug addict turn to crime? What are the best methods of intervention in dealing with individuals who have serious drug habits? The third edition of Drogue et criminalite : Une relation complexe (Les Presses de l'Universite de Montreal), translated here for the first time in English, presents an overview of the complex relationship between drugs and crime, avoids cursory affirmations to the effect that psychoactive substance use necessarily leads to crime. It also sheds light on the political and legislative contexts tied to drugs and offers an exceptional synthesis of the research literature of the past 20 years. The authors also discuss the increased attention to illegal drug users and people with addictions, and describe the different supports that are available to them. This book is published in English. - Concevoir la question des drogues illicites en dehors de leur contexte criminel est difficile. Certaines questions reviennent immanquablement : prendre de la drogue pousse-t-il vraiment a la delinquance ? Existe-t-il des drogues aux proprietes criminogenes ? Pourquoi un toxicomane se tourne-t-il vers la criminalite ? Quelles sont les meilleures facons d'intervenir aupres des personnes qui ont de graves problemes de consommation ? Cette troisieme edition presente la relation complexe entre drogue et criminalite, evitant les enonces sommaires qui voudraient que l'usage de substances psychoactives mene necessairement au crime. Elle met ainsi en lumiere les contextes politiques et legaux lies aux drogues et fait une synthese exceptionnelle des resultats de la recherche des vingt dernieres annees. Les auteurs rendent compte de l'importance accrue qu'on accorde desormais aux usagers de drogues illicites ainsi qu'aux personnes dependantes et ils decrivent les differentes formes d'aide qui leur sont proposees. Ce livre est publie en anglais.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.
