Martin Robertson, London, 1974. First Edition. Softcover. Very Good Condition. Clean copy, rear panel has a crease at the left-hand side, no other damage to detail. This book relates drugtaking to the general study of the sociology of law, and it shows how the control system developed mainly as a response to the social composition and values of the drug takers rather than to the addictive qualities of the drugs.
