Description

Brings together articles that address the interconnected epidemics of HIV/AIDS and drug abuse. The substantive part of the book offers different sides of two key debates in the field. The editor places particular importance on 'harm reduction' a policy attempting to decrease the adverse consequences of drug use without total prohibition. The book ends with examples of harm reduction initiatives, human rights treaties and a glossary of key terms. - from Amzon
