"Este livro é o resultado de um percurso de pesquisa com contornos raros entre nós. Há cerca de uma década, Manuela Ivone Cunha iniciava o seu trabalho de campo no Estabelecimento Prisional de Tires. Hoje apresenta-nos os resultados da investigação realizada durante o seu regresso àquela instituição, num livro que é um ponto de viragem na antropologia portuguesa e no nosso entendimento da criminalidade, do que poderíamos chamar o sistema da droga e. num âmbito mais vasto, das estruturas de desigualdade na nossa sociedade." Miguel Vale de Almeida.

Social poisons analyse why and how, at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries, the consumption of toxic substances became a social issue that stirred up great concern among contemporaries. By using a wide variety of sources (legislative texts, police archives, diplomatic documents, criminological, medical and psychiatric publications, press articles, literary works and other artistic creations, such as the popular rebetika songs), the book sheds a new light on the advent of “drug addiction”. This complex historical process had numerous features: it included the medical and recreational use of psychoactive substances, restrictive policies on the production, trade and consumption of narcotics, as well as broader and historically defined fears of Greek society, in a period that was in many respects transitional. Indeed, it was during this time that Greek territory and population more than doubled, when the question of modernisation was raised emphatically, and developments, such as the mass arrival of new populations, the redefinition of women’s role, and the emergence of new ideological currents, swayed traditional points of reference and the established order.The book addresses these aspects, and documents the form and extent of drug use in Greece by setting it in its legislative, social and cultural framework on the one hand, and in the broader context of the history of narcotics in Eastern Mediterranean, Europe and the world on the other. In doing so, Social Poisons offer both an original and unconventional viewpoint on the history of Greece at the early 20th century, and a historical background for contemporary discussions and public debate on drug policies.

In its steady march across the United States, methamphetamine has become, to "e former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, “the most dangerous drug in America.” As a result, there has been a concerted effort at the local level to root out the methamphetamine problem by identifying the people at its source—those known or suspected to be involved with methamphetamine. Government-sponsored anti-methamphetamine legislation has enhanced these local efforts, formally and informally encouraging rural residents to identify meth offenders in their communities. Policing Methamphetamine shows what happens in everyday life—and to everyday life—when methamphetamine becomes an object of collective concern. Drawing on interviews with users, police officers, judges, and parents and friends of addicts in one West Virginia town, William Garriott finds that this overriding effort to confront the problem changed the character of the community as well as the role of law in creating and maintaining social order. Ultimately, this work addresses the impact of methamphetamine and, more generally, the war on drugs, on everyday life in the United States.

The 12th volume of International Development Policy explores the relationship between international drug policy and development goals, both current and within a historical perspective. Contributions address the drugs and development nexus from a range of critical viewpoints, highlighting gaps and contradictions, as well as exploring strategies and opportunities for enhanced linkages between drug control and development programming. Criminalisation and coercive law enforcement-based responses in international and national level drug control are shown to undermine peace, security and development objectives.
