{"product_id":"drug-policy-constellations-alex-stevens-9781529231328","title":"Drug Policy Constellations: The Role of Power and Morality in the Making of Drug Policy in the UK","description":"How is UK drugs policy made, and why does it so often seem irrational when considering what works in reducing drug-related harms? This book explains how the concept of drug policy constellations - the loosely concerted policy actors with shared moral commitments that influenced policy outcomes - explains why there is no such thing as 'evidence-based' drug policy. Drawing on his participation in high-level policy discussions, and a novel approach to policy analysis, Stevens presents three recent cases involving key issues in UK illicit drug policy - medical cannabis, drug-related deaths and the government's 10-year drug strategy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alex Stevens\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1529231329\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781529231328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bristol University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/27\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Alex Stevens","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44790443049215,"sku":"9781529231328","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_02c9f768-d240-4bd6-99c8-cb32cbc36fb8.jpg?v=1707288955","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/drug-policy-constellations-alex-stevens-9781529231328","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
