{"product_id":"9781847426970","title":"Evidence versus politics: Exploiting research in UK drug policy making?","description":"\u003cbr\u003eThe initial enthusiasm for the evidence-based policy agenda has recently been replaced with increasing scepticism. Critics point out that 'policy-based evidence' characterises the relationship more accurately. Analysing the role and nature of evidence in the context of UK drug policy and drawing on a range of theories of the policy process and research utilisation, this book pursues an alternative route for conceptualising the evidence and policy connection, which moves beyond zero-sum statements of evidence-based policy and policy-based evidence. It will be essential reading for students and researchers in public policy and criminology.","brand":"Policy Press at the Univ of Bristol","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47049689268464,"sku":"9781847426970","price":111.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781847426970_p0.jpg?v=1769893993","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781847426970","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
