Illicit drugs continue to pose a global problem for law enforcement officers, policymakers and society at large. In this Special Issue of the Home Team Journal, researchers from various backgrounds and disciplines share insights on various drug-related themes, including consequences of liberalising drug policies, socio-economic impact of drugs on societies, the effectiveness of Singapore’s anti-drug policies and the public’s support for them.
The research in this Special Issue demonstrates that Singapore’s anti-drug strategies are grounded in evidence of what works and by its experience and challenges. Professor Stella Quah, Adjunct Professor at Duke-NUS Medical School, is the Guest Editor for this Special Issue.
