Reviews

With photographs and data from field observations and in-depth interviews, Gao's book on women and heroin addiction in China has opened up a new research area for other scholars to further explore. This timely book is very well written and is in fact one of a kind in the literature in that it applies the most advanced Western research methods to the study of Chinese issues. - Mengyan Dai, Old Dominion University The author must be commended on completing a research project about a hidden population - heroin addicted women in China. Through this work, the author has given a voice to women who are often silenced. - Criminal Law and Criminal Justice Books
