In this volume, international contributors discuss the philosophical basis and history of harm reduction policies and examine their outcomes. They also cover controversial topics related to harm reduction especially conflicts between the public health system, where most programmes are located, and a worldwide criminal justice system that further marginalizes drug users. The book describes programmes from the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Brazil, The Netherlands, Switzerland and Australia.
