Law, Drugs and the Making of Addiction: Just Habits

Kate Seear

4.9/5 (12701 ratings)

Description:Lawyers play a vital and largely underappreciated role in constituting legal certainties about substances and 'addiction', including links between alcohol and other drugs, and phenomena such as family violence. Such practices exacerbate, sustain and stabilise 'addicted' realities, with a range of implications - many of them seemingly unjust - for people who use alcohol and other drugs. This book explores these issues, drawing upon data collected for a major international study on alcohol and other drugs in the law, including interviews with lawyers, magistrates and judges, analyses of case law and legislation. Focusing on an array of legal practices, including processes of law-making, human rights deliberations, advocacy and negotiation strategies and the sentencing of offenders, and buttressed by overarching analyses of the ethics and politics of such practices, it looks at how alcohol and other drug 'addiction' emerges and is concretised through the everyday work lawyers and decision makers do. Foregrounding 'practices', the book also shows that law is more fragile than we might assume. And it concludes by presenting a blueprint for how lawyers can rethink their advocacy practices in light of this fragility, and the opportunities it presents for remaking law, and the subjects and objects shaped by it.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
