Topic question 1
The question:
To what extent can the current system of UK drug classification under the 1971 Misuse of Drugs Act be said to be ‘fit for purpose?’
The planning
Here are some things to think about/ensure you cover as you undertake this work:
- An outline of UK drug classification policy
- An outline its intended aims
- An explanation what is meant by ‘fit for purpose’
- An analysis of the impacts of the policy
- An exploration of whether it meets its aims
- An analysis of what other impacts it has (i.e. negative and/or unintended outcomes)
