Book Description
President Bush's 2006 budget earmarked 25.4 million dollars for increased drug testing of public school students. Proponents claim that drug testing reduces illegal drug use among students and gives students an alibi for not using. Opponents claim that drug testing is ineffective at best and possibly even harmful. Testing can foster distrust, push students toward drugs that aren't screened for, and inhibit student participation in extracurricular activities. This volume provides a compilation of articles and essays that take opposing viewpoints on the issues of teen drug testing. Essay sources include the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, Drug Detection Report, Amitava Dasgupta, and Robert L. DuPont.

Book Description
"This publication does not offer a pre-packaged programme of education for drug abuse prevention that can be picked up and implemented. It is rather an attempt to provide a conceptual basis upon which teachers, policy makers and school administrators can make decisions about school based drug prevention programmes in order to achieve greater success in education terms" -- p. 6.

Book Description
Drugs and Drug Policy: The Control of Consciousness Alteration provides a cross-national perspective on the regulation of drug use by examining and critiquing drug policies in the United States and abroad in terms of their scope, goals, and effectiveness. In this engaging text, authors Clayton J. Mosher and Scott Akins discuss the physiological, psychological, and behavioral effects of legal and illicit drugs; the patterns and correlates of use; and theories of the "causes" of drug use. Key Features: * Offers more coverage of drug policy issues than competitive books: This book addresses the number of significant developments over the last few decades that suggest the dynamics of drug use and policies to deal with drug use are at a critical juncture. The book also considers the issue of "American exceptionalism" with respect to drug policies through a detailed analysis of emerging drug polices in other Western nations. * Makes explicit comparisons between legal and illegal drugs: Due to their prevalence of use, this book devotes considerable attention to the use and regulation of legal drugs in society. The book illustrates that commonly prescribed medications are similar to drugs that are among the most feared and harshly punished in society and that drug-related problems do not necessarily result from particular drugs, but from how drugs are used. * Includes many pedagogical tools: With chapter opening photos and more photos throughout, this text presents material in a student- friendly fashion. Highlight boxes provide interesting examples for readers; encourage further emphasis on issues; and serve as important topics for in class writing exercises. In addition, Internet exercises and review questions reinforce key points made in the chapter and prompt classroom discussion.

Book Description
This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. The U.S. has historically suffered from some of the highest rates of drug abuse in the world, and, as a result, has made unparalleled investments in demand reduction research and programming. This report takes stock of the knowledge we have gained about what works to reduce drug abuse. The Nat. Drug Control Strategy seeks to put resources where research and experience have proven that they can have the greatest effect in reducing the demand for drugs in America. The results in successfully decreasing drug use illustrate what can be achieved through the implementation of a balanced strategy that focuses on research-proven approaches around the world that are confronting drug abuse problems of their own. Illustrations.
