Recognising that certain people always have and always will engage in behaviours which carry risks, the aim of harm reduction is to mitigate the potential dangers and health risks associated with those behaviours.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cp\u003eHarm Reduction in Substance Use and High-Risk Behaviour offers a comprehensive exploration of the policy, practice and evidence base of harm reduction. Starting with a history of harm reduction, the book addresses key ethical and legal issues central to the debates and developments in the field. It discusses the full range of psychoactive substances, behaviours and communities with chapters on injecting, dance drugs, stimulant use, tobacco harm reduction, alcohol use and sex work.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWritten by an international team of contributors, this text provides an essential panorama of harm reduction in the 21\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Overall this book is a very good read for those interested in addiction issues and could be used as an excellent reference book for future policy making in harm reduction.”  (\u003ci\u003eIrish Journal of Psychological Medicine\u003c\/i\u003e, 1 October 2013)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTaken overall in the context of its strengths and shortcomings, and as one of the few textbooks of its kind, it is a welcome resource for the field of harm reduction. We would recommend this book to those unfamiliar with the discipline, particularly individuals entering academia and those interested in advocacy and policy. Many sections can be read as stand-alone pieces, to help the reader develop an understanding of fundamental concepts before delving further into research.
