"Cannabis Criminology explores the prohibition, decriminalization, and liberalization
of cannabis policy through the lens of criminological and sociological theory, essential
concepts, and cannabis research. It does so by focusing on five thematic areas: law,
society, and social control; police and policing; race, ethnicity, and criminalization;
the economics of cannabis use; and cannabis use and criminal behavior. The book links
key areas in past and contemporary cannabis research to criminological and sociological
theories, including key concepts, emergent concerns, and new directions. Based on
an update-to-date review of this growing area of research, the book outlines a research
program based on five essential thematic areas. Introducing cannabis as a critical
case study in moral-legal re-negotiation, it outlines how cannabis prohibition has
influenced cannabis around the world. Five discrete chapters focus on thematic areas,
criminological and sociological theories, define essential concepts, and provide research
focused on law, society, and social control (chapter 2), police and policing cannabis
(chapter 3), race, ethnicity, and criminalization (chapter 4), the economics of cannabis
use (chapter 5), and cannabis use and criminal behavior (chapter 6). The book concludes
by presenting new ways to engage prohibitionist thinking, by challenging myths, embracing
social media, and developing a duty of care to guide future cannabis researchers and
explicitly involve people who use cannabis. Cannabis Criminology will be of interest
to a variety of readers, including students and scholars from a range of backgrounds
studying drug use, drug policy, cannabis legalization, and other drug-related issues.
It will also appeal to policymakers who want to know more about cannabis legalization
and drug prohibition, those working in the criminal justice system, and social work
professionals. Due to its accessible style, people involved in the cannabis industry,
as well as cannabis users may also find the book interesting"
