Real Drugs in a Virtual World Drug Discourse and Community Online

Many assume that the Internet introduces youth and young adults to dangerous information and substances while others contend that open and free access to accurate drug use information is critical to reducing dangerous behaviors. The primary goal of this book is to take the debate about drug use and the Internet from polemic discourse to social scientific investigation. Our work highlights the variety of ways to examine drug use as a social problem, and several theoretical perspectives valuable for online research.Tackett-Gibson, Melissa is the author of 'Real Drugs in a Virtual World Drug Discourse and Community Online', published 2007 under ISBN 9780739114551 and ISBN 0739114557.
