Description: "This volume offers critical insights on drug use among young people by exploring and analyzing behaviours common at raves and nightclubs through sociological and public health perspectives. Material is drawn from the US, UK and Hong Kong to provide cross-cultural comparisons, allowing for the demystification of stereotypical presentations and the illumination of concerns surrounding young people who attend clubs and/or use club drugs. It provides theoretical insights related to illicit club drug use and supply, which aims, in part, to challenge current orthodoxies on the role of drug use within young peoples' lives"--Jacket.
