Illegal Drug Use Through The Lifecourse (eBook, ePUB)

A Study Of 'Hidden' Older Users

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book reports on a study of current 'hidden' users of illegal drugs aged 40 and over. These are individuals who have sustained illegal drug use over the long term, whilst living otherwise 'conventional' lives. Utilising insights from the 'life course perspective', the development of the participants' use over their lives is analysed and placed in social context. The book also details the nature of their current drug use. The result is a unique look at the illegal drug use of an often ignored group of older drug users, which charts the changing role that illegal drugs have played - and continue to play - in their lives.
