Illegal Drug Markets:

"This is an excellent work, with comprehensive and up to date material on the drugs/crime connection. It should be in every researcher's library."—James Inciardi

"It is a delight to read a book that focuses on the intersection of drug markets and policy. Too often one hears drug policy discussed as a 'medical problem' or a 'criminal justice' problem. It is both, of course, but it is also fundamentally an issue of markets, albeit unusual ones. Confronting the market dimensions addressed in this book will help elevate drug policy discussions."—Jonathan Caulkins, Carnegie-Mellon University

"This anthology would serve well in any undergraduate or graduate course that deals with drug use and abuse, international perspectives on substance abuse, or any other similar courses of study...[It] provides a broad global perspective on the drug trade phenomenon and provides insight into drug-trade crime prevention efforts for practitioners and scholars alike."—Robert Hanser, The Literature of Criminal Justice, 1998-2001

"Illegal Drug Markets [is] one of the most comprehensive and up-to-date books of its type on the market. Conceptually rich and empirically diverse, this anthology is sure to benefit researchers and students alike."—Bruce Jacobs, University of Missouri-St. Louis
