{"product_id":"evidence-versus-politics-mark-monaghan-9781847426970","title":"Evidence Versus Politics: Exploiting Research in UK Drug Policy Making?","description":"The initial enthusiasm for the evidence-based policy agenda has recently been replaced with increasing scepticism. Critics point out that 'policy-based evidence' characterises the relationship more accurately. Analysing the role and nature of evidence in the context of UK drug policy and drawing on a range of theories of the policy process and research utilisation, this book pursues an alternative route for conceptualising the evidence and policy connection, which moves beyond zero-sum statements of evidence-based policy and policy-based evidence. It will be essential reading for students and researchers in public policy and criminology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Monaghan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1847426972\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781847426970\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Policy Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/26\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 6.90w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2011 pg. 116","brand":"Mark Monaghan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088889393407,"sku":"9781847426970","price":127.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c937438f-417e-4af2-8216-f7339f22dc56.jpg?v=1769107104","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/evidence-versus-politics-mark-monaghan-9781847426970","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
