Step 3: Encourage the development of innovative strategies of drug control -- Chapter 4.

Conclusion.This book examines the topical issue of global drug policy and outlines five steps that could be taken to improve its effectiveness. A public criminology approach is applied to explore not only what could be done, but also why it matters and how it could be achieved. It argues that more effective global drug policies require an acknowledgement of the failure of a war on drugs approach and the harms it has caused. Instead, strategies that reduce drug related harm should be prioritised. An innovative and diverse range of approaches should be developed that are underpinned by evaluation and dissemination of results. Finally, the horizons of the drug policy debate should be broadened. In line with the central aims of public criminology, this book provides an accessible contribution to global drug policy debates that links theory and practice and which will have appeal to a wide range of audiences.Crime preventionHuman rightsCriminologySocial policyTransnational crimePublic healthCrime Preventionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1BE010Human Rights and Crime https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1BB020Social Policyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X33000Transnational Crimehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1B4000Public Healthhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H27002Crime prevention.Human rights.Criminology.Social policy.Transnational crime.Public health.Crime Prevention.Human Rights and Crime .Social Policy.Transnational Crime.Public Health.344.04233Chatwin Carolineauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut995615BOOK9910299866403321Towards More Effective Global Drug Policies2281420UNINA
