A resounding success or a disastrous failure: Re‐examining the interpretation of evidence on the Portuguese decriminalisation of illicit drugs
Tập 31 Số 1 - Trang 101-113 - 2012
In this Harm Reduction Digest two observers and scholars of the 2001 Portuguese
drug policy reform consider divergent accounts of the reform which viewed it as
a ‘resounding success’ or a ‘disastrous failure’. Acknowledging from their own
experience the inherent difficulties in studying drug law reform, Caitlin Hughes
and Alex Stevens take the central competing claims of the protagonists and
consi...
