Regulating Vice

Discover a fresh perspective on vice policy in Regulating Vice by Jim Leitzel, published by Cambridge University Press in 2007. This enlightening book spans 318 pages and offers an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the regulation of traditional vices such as alcohol, nicotine, drugs, gambling, and commercial sex.

Leitzel presents a compelling argument that public policies addressing these addictive activities should be adaptable and effective in diverse circumstances. By shedding light on crimes without victims in both Europe and the United States, this work challenges conventional views and encourages thoughtful discussion on how society handles these issues.

Whether you're a policy maker, researcher, or simply interested in the societal complexities of vice, Regulating Vice is an essential read that invites you to rethink the regulatory landscape surrounding addiction.
