Drugs and drug control

Despite the relative homogeneity in the cultural, social, and economic aspects of the Scaninavian countries, there is marked diversity in the progressive severity of the criminal law in the relation to drug offences, with Norway being the most repressive and Denmark the most moderate. This vol., comprising articles by prominent criminologists of four very similar, yet dissimilar countries, not only sums up the Scaninavian experience: the comp. perspective gives it an additional research value.
