Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Drugs Offences Handbook provides a comprehensive, focused and concise analysis of the often complex evidential and litigation issues that relate to drugs cases. The law relating to drugs has the broadest span of any specialist area within crime. Evidentially it includes the forensic examination of drugs themselves and evidence linking individuals to drugs, as well as cell site analysis, interrogation of computers and mobile telephones, police powers of search, and the utilisation of police 'expert' witnesses. From a litigation perspective, drugs cases (together with financial crime) make up the vast majority of cases giving rise to money laundering and proceeds of crime issues. In complex supply and importation cases, the financial aspect frequently arises within the evidence as well. Laid out in three broad sections covering Offences, Evidence and Post-conviction, The Drugs Offences Handbook provides expert guidance on key areas such as: - Manufacture and cultivation - Importation - Possession and supply - Police powers of search and seizure - Sentencing and confiscation With reference to all relevant legislation including the Psychoactive Substances Act 2016, the Drugs Act 2005, the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 as well as analysis of leading cases such as R v Hussain (Shabbir), R v Green and R v Wright, The Drugs Offences Handbook is an essential resource for criminal law practitioners as well as professionals such as drugs agencies, counselling agencies and expert witnesses. Tim Moloney QC, Tom Stevens, Paul Mason, Abigail Bright and Harriet Johnson are all members of Doughty Street Chambers. Steven Bird is the founder and director of Birds Solicitors. The Criminal Practice Series is a series of practical court-style guides covering a number of discrete, specialist areas. They assist users to identify cases, rules and regulations relevant to the specific topic quickly and easily. For more information please visit www.bloomsburyprofessional.com/criminal

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forty years ago, President Richard Nixon declared a “war on drugs.” Since that time, the country has incarcerated thousands of citizens and spent billions of dollars, and yet the drug problem rolls on. Today, the illegal drug market funds international terrorism, the horrific drug war on the Mexican border, and the senseless violence plaguing our communities, large and small. It is past time for a new direction. This book provides a drug policy framework that will choke off the revenue supporting the illegal drug market. Howard Rahtz outlines a series of drug policy steps buttressed by a historical review of drug policy measures, a review of international efforts against trafficking, and a clear understanding of the dynamics of addiction and its role in facilitating the illegal drug market.

This book was released on 2018-10-23 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The provisions on drink-and drug- driving, and their statutory predecessors, have undoubtedly contributed to greater road safety. The conviction rate is extremely high, running at 95 per cent. The consequences of conviction for a drink- or drug-drive offence go beyond the immediate penalty of a fine, a community penalty or imprisonment. They include disqualification from driving, which may not simply inconvenience the offender, but may lead to loss of employment and, in due course, to greatly increased insurance premiums. Since the first edition of this book was published in 2011, there have been two major changes. First, the new s 5A of the Road Traffic Act 1988 came into force in March 2015 and created the offences of driving, attempting to drive or being in charge with a concentration of a specified controlled drug above the specified limit for that drug. This new edition includes a new chapter which describes the new offence. As far as possible, the provisions under s 5A mirror those relating to excess alcohol, but the seventeen drugs in question are very different from alcohol, and from each other. The law on s 5A is no doubt set to develop over the years to come. Secondly, the so-called 'statutory option' has been removed (except in Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands). The new edition of The Drink- and Drug-Drive Offences: A Handbook for Practitioners (formerly The Drink-Drive Offences) provides a practical, comprehensive, accessible and up-to-date account of this broad area of law. The book brings together the statutory provisions and the case law on the drink-drive offences, elucidating issues which are often surprisingly difficult. It is intended for all practitioners concerned with this area of law, whether police, prosecution or defence, and adopts a neutral standpoint between their various interests.
