Reimagining Drugs (and People who Use Them) 3. Dynamics and Displacement of Swedish Drug Use 4. Service Provision and Harm Reduction 5. Experiences of Service and Healthcare Provision 6. The Outcomes of Sweden’s War on People who Use DrugsReviewsJay Levy's compelling study should be mandatory reading for anyone who still harbours the notion that Sweden is a progressive paragon. Compulsory blood testing, police harassment, child custody used as leverage, basic services made arbitrary and conditional: Levy counts the costs, and the casualties, of Sweden's search for a 'drug-free society'. Dr Philip Howell, Senior Lecturer, Department of Geography, University of Cambridge Levy's insightful and well-written analysis of the harms of Swedish drug policy exposes the underlying common rationales between the history of social engineering and the nation's war on drugs. Rigorously researched and excellently written, the book ultimately advances understandings of drug use and people who use them, effectively outlining the reasons for why we must re-imagine our approaches to drugs, drug use, and the people that use drugs in new and radical ways.
