Critics point out that 'policy-based evidence' characterises the relationship more accurately. Analysing the role and nature of evidence in the context of UK drug policy and drawing on a range of theories of the policy process and research utilisation, this book pursues an alternative route for conceptualising the evidence and policy connection, which moves beyond zero-sum statements of evidence-based policy and policy-based evidence. It will be essential reading for students and researchers in public policy and criminology.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Policy Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47602968952983,"sku":"9781847426970","price":10444.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781847426970.webp?v=1775013709","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/evidence-versus-politics-exploiting-research-in-uk-drug-policy-making-9781847426970","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
