Books by Ross Coomber

An authoritative introduction to key issues in the area of crime as it connects to society.

A must for anyone working with questions of drug use; from students across the social sciences to practitioners such as nurses, health workers and social workers. This is not a medical text but rather a critical account of psychoactive drugs in our society that enables the reader to think about drugs beyond cultural myths and presuppositions.

Informed debate on how, why, or even if, drugs and those that use them should be controlled needs an insight into the background of such controls, how effective they have been and what reasonable alternatives there may be. This book seeks to provide such an insight.
