Drugs and Popular Culture in the Age of New Media

Focusing on the impact of new media, the book explores how platforms like social networking and video-sharing sites reshape the representation of drugs and drug culture. It critiques traditional drug education methods based on centralized communication, arguing that these outdated approaches are ineffective in the interactive media landscape. By integrating insights from criminology, media studies, and sociology, it highlights the need for a reevaluation of drug education strategies in light of contemporary media dynamics.
