About This Item
Martin Robertson, London, 1974. First Edition. Softcover. Very Good Condition. Clean copy, rear panel has a crease at the left-hand side, no other damage to detail. This book relates drugtaking to the general study of the sociology of law, and it shows how the control system developed mainly as a response to the social composition and values of the drug takers rather than to the addictive qualities of the drugs. Almost all studies of drugtaking in Britain have concentrated on the social and personality features of the drug takers themselves. In this book, the author adopts a different approach concentrating on the legal system as a control agent rather than on "pathological" features of the drug takers.  A rear panel blurb Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 198 pages.
