Susan C. Boyd's profound research introduces us to draconian and objectionable measures used against women and exposes the social control, impoverishment and detachment of children from their mothers at the hands of the state. Boyd points out and defines mis-information, constructing perceptible format from the seclusion of knowledge and truth through feminism; as it relates to drug policy and prison.
Susan Boyd forms a comparison of the witch hunts of the past with women today through control and regulation of altered states. Boyd presents new social models, harm reduction and alternatives to the atrocities performed in the name of the war on drugs. Susan C. Boyd, an Associate Professor at the University of Victoria holds a Ph.D. in Criminology. She is a community activist and has worked with drug users in Vancouver, B.C. I found this book extremely informative and highly recommend it to every one interested in Social Justice.
