The economics of addictive behaviours.Volume III,The private and social costs of the abuse of illicit drugs and their remedies[electronic resource] /The private and social costs of the abuse of illicit drugs and their remediesby John Joshua. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2017. - viii, 135 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Chapter 1. Introduction -- Chapter 2. Causes of the Abuse of Illicit Drugs -- Chapter 3. The Consequences of the Use of Illicit Drugs and Their Associated Private and Social Costs -- Chapter 4. The Use of Illicit Drugs and Quality of Life -- Chapter 5. The Prevention and Treatment of the Abuse of Illicit Drugs -- Chapter 6. Economic Policies to Reduce the Abuse of Illicit Drugs -- Chapter 7. The Legal Framework of the Abuse of Illicit Drugs -- Chapter 8. Conclusion.

This title offers an in-depth analysis of the causes, consequences and treatments of illicit drug abuse. The author examines the effects of existing drug policies and proposes drug use legalisation within a regulated market as a viable alternative. Joshua assesses the factors that make individuals vulnerable to drug abuse and the pathways they may follow. As well as exploring the physical and psychological effects on the individual, Joshua examines the social and economic consequences for society. He highlights the pitfalls of a purely legal approach to drug abuse, which is primarily a health matter, and questions whether special drugs courts could be used as an alternative to the present criminal justice system. This book adds to the debate on whether most drugs could be sold in a regulated market in the same way as other drugs are, such as alcohol or nicotine. This is the third title in a four volume series 'The Economics of Addictive Behaviours', consisting of three additional volumes on smoking, alcohol abuse and overeating.
