Drawing from a wide array of interdisciplinary perspectives--spanning law, politics, history, sociology, and economics--the author explores how the criminalization of certain substances has not only failed to curb illicit drug use but also created harmful collateral consequences, particularly in Latin America.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book critiques the so-called \"War on Drugs,\" initiated in the 1970s, and highlights its detrimental effects on marginalized communities, particularly in Brazil, where militarized police forces control poverty-stricken areas. Through a compelling analysis of the legal and geopolitical factors behind drug prohibition, it highlights the illegitimacy and social costs of punitive drug policies. This book emphasizes the urgent need for a paradigm shift towards drug regulation, arguing that the current punitive approach exacerbates human rights violations and perpetuates systemic violence.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe work further offers practical solutions for reform, proposing alternative models of drug control that prioritize harm reduction and public health. With a focus on the necessity of global cooperation and the ethical imperative to protect human dignity, the book challenges readers to rethink entrenched ideologies surrounding drug use and criminal justice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47854040088727,"sku":"9783032147011","price":8006.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783032147011.webp?v=1780038383","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/criminal-drug-policy-from-prohibition-to-regulation-9783032147011","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
