Accompanied by a podcast called The Cannabis Criminology Podcast. As a limited series podcast, the authors will review key aspects of the book and interview scholars and activists working in this area.
Very timely as the (potential) legalisation of cannabis has received much attention across the globe in recent decades/years, and this interest is set to continue for many years to come.
Most research tends to focus on drugs as a whole, whereas this book focus solely on cannabis, and as such offers the depth needed to grasp the topic more effectively.
Fits into several topics/modules within criminology, sociology, law, drug policy and public health.
Comprehensive in its coverage, exploring history, frameworks of analysis, evidence to date, key initiatives, and providing examples from relevant jurisdictions.
