RT Book T1 Cultures of cannabis control: an international comparison of policy making A1 Brewster, David LA English PP Bristol PB Bristol University Press YR 2023 UL https://krimdok.uni-tuebingen.de/Record/1894766040 AB "From the local to the global, the governance of illegal drug use is becoming increasingly fragmented. In some contexts, prohibitive regimes are being transformed or replaced, while in others there are renewed commitments to criminalized control. But what gives rise to convergence and divergence in processes of policy making, both across different countries as well as within them? Based upon empirical qualitative research with 'elite' insiders, David Brewster explores a diverse range of cannabis policy approaches across the globe. His original analysis reveals the factors which facilitate or hinder punitive or liberalising tendencies in cannabis policy processes, concluding with future directions for policy making and comparative criminology"-- CN K3641 SN 9781529214987 K1 Cannabis : Law and legislation K1 Marijuana : Law and legislation K1 Narcotic laws K1 Drug legalization K1 Cannabis - Law and legislation K1 Internationaler Vergleich : Betäubungsmittelrecht : Drogenpolitik : Hanf DO 10.51952/9781529214987
