More harm than good
Drug policy in canada
Susan C. Boyd, Connie I. Carter, Donald Macpherson
Résumé
In More Harm Than Good, Carter, Boyd and MacPherson take a critical look at the current state of Canadian drug policy and raise key questions about the effects of Canada's increasing involvement in and commitment to the "war on drugs." A primer on Canadian drug policy, the analysis in More Harm Than Good is shaped by critical sociology and feminist perspectives on drugs and incorporates insights not only from individuals who are on the front lines of drug policy in Canada - treatment and service workers - but also from those who live with the consequences of that policy on a daily basis - people who use criminalized drugs. Finally, the authors propose realistic alternatives to today's failed policy approach.
“Your book really expanded thinking and understanding and had a big influence on students critical and reflective thought. Readings sparked rich conversations about their own hopes and wishes for the field, broader social and political responses and the impact on youth and families affected by substances.” - Stephanie McCune, University of Victoria
