Teenagers & Substance Abusediscusses the scope of the substance abuse problem among teenagers and the types of drugs most commonly used by this age group. Collaborative efforts and strategies devised by schools, and private and public entities to stop illegal drug and alcohol use and the government's crackdown on the use of the internet to facilitate the production, use, and sale of "club drugs" is also discussed. The Legal Almanac series serves to educate the general public on a variety of legal issues pertinent to everyday life and to keep readers informed of their rights and remedies under the law. Each volume in the series presents an explanation of a specific legal issue in simple, clearly written text, making the Almanac a concise and perfect desktop reference tool. All volumes provide state-by-state coverage. Selected state statutes are included, as are important case law and legislation, charts and tables for comparison.
