Caribbean drugs : from criminalization to harm reduction
Axel Klein (Editor), Marcus Day (Editor), Anthony Harriot (Editor)
In recent years Caribbean countries have responded to US pressure by adopting a coordinated policy of criminalizing ganja & crack cocaine usage. This volume assesses the impact of the policy on a population for whom drug usage has been socially acceptable & provides a warning for policy makers elsewhere
