Methadone Maintenance: Alex Stevens: Does drug policy matter?



The Vera Institute of Justice’s Neil A. Weiner Research Speaker Series features Alex Stevens, professor of criminal justice at the University of Kent, England In this podcast, Professor Stevens discusses his research comparing drug policies of five countries—the Netherlands; Portugal; Sweden; the United Kingdom; and the United States—to determine whether drug policy affects drug use.
