Description
Trade Review"Excellently written, logical, and coherent,
The Methamphetamine Industry in America is an exemplary book that is quite unique in focusing exclusively on the macro-scale methamphetamine industry." -- Thomas Mieczkowski * University of South Florida *
"
The Methamphetamine Industry in America is best described as
Breaking Bad from a sociological perspective." * Contemporary Sociology *
"This multi-method study of the social networks involved in the distribution and manufacture of methamphetamine provides a level of understanding unmatched in previous research. Using multiple sources, the authors masterfully weave a tale that reflects the complexities of the business while using personal stories to present a human face on larger social processes." -- Dr. Ralph A. Weisheit * Illinois State University *
"Brownstein, Mulcahy, and Huessy weave interviews with users, dealers, producers, and law enforcement professionals involved in the methamphetamine drug trade to give readers a vision of the local, national, and international drug industry. The authors adopt a social organization approach to identify and analyze social patterns among the people involved in the meth trade. Useful for professionals responsible for prevention and treatment services and enforcement of drug laws as well as students in these areas. Recommended." * Choice *
