The region is likewise responsible for a disproportionate number of the country's crimes. Police Scotland's serious organised crime unit has identified as much as 70% of the country's organised criminal activity to occur within or have ties to the region. A significant amount of these crimes is both directly and indirectly related to the illegal supply of drugs. Numerous law enforcement and political and public responses have been undertaken to reduce violence, organised crime, and drug harms in Scotland. Drawing on key case studies, McLean, Holligan and Pugh shed light on the historical factors that contributed to the embedding of violence, gangs, and drugs into the social fabric of the region.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Contemporary History of Drug-Based Organised Crime in Scotland \u003c\/em\u003eprovides insight into the development of drug based organised crime in the region, and how this process has subsequently shaped the wider criminal landscape of Scotland.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRobert McLean \u003c\/strong\u003eis a Criminal Justice and Policing Lecturer at the University of the West of Scotland, Paisley, Scotland.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChris Holligan\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Professor in the School of Education and Social Science at the University of the West of Scotland, Paisley, Scotland.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMichael Pugh\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Lecturer in Political History at the University of the West of Scotland, Paisley, Scotland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 136\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.38 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 07, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45893005410501,"sku":"9781835496534","price":102.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/G4LIQkD8Qe9781835496534.webp?v=1771919151","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/the-contemporary-history-of-drug-based-organised-crime-in-scotland-hardcover","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
