Drugs (Life Files)

The book is part of the Life Files series, which explores a wide range of social issues and is built around a series of key questions that focus attention on the critical aspects of the topic. Case studies are included where appropriate, and both sides of the issue are presented. This title looks at the use of legal and illegal substances, confronting issues such as why young people use drugs, how effective drug education programs are, and the role of the law and treatment services in helping to deal with drug problems.
