This volume investigates the systemic legal, social, and medical challenges posed by the habitual drunkenness offender within the criminal justice framework. Edited by Timothy Cook, Dennis Gath, and Celia Hensman, the text compiles proceedings from a 1968 international symposium. It presents a multidisciplinary argument that the traditional punitive approach to public intoxication is ineffective, advocating instead for a shift toward community-based rehabilitation and medical intervention.
