Professor James Inciardi writes of this book: "This is an excellent work, with comprehensive and up to date material on the drugs/crime connection. It should be in every researcher's library." In his review, Professor Jonathan Caulkins of the School of Public Policy Management, Carnegie-Mellon University, says: "It is a delight to read a book that focuses on the intersection of drug markets and policy. Too often one hears drug policy discussed as a 'medical problem' or a 'criminal justice' problem. It is both, of course, but it is also fundamentally an issue of markets, albeit unusual ones. Confronting the market dimensions addressed in this book will help elevate drug policy discussions."

Robert Hanser, in his review in The Literature of Criminal Justice 1998-2001, writes: "This anthology would serve well in any undergraduate or graduate course that deals with drug use and abuse, international perspectives on substance abuse, or any other similar courses of study...[It] provides a broad global perspective on the drug trade phenomenon and provides insight into drug-trade crime prevention efforts for practitioners and scholars alike."

And, Professor Bruce Jacobs of the University of Missouri-St. Louis, applauds "Illegal Drug Markets" as "One of the most comprehensive and up-to-date books of its type on the market. Conceptually rich and empirically diverse, this anthology is sure to benefit researchers and students alike." Contents include: "Illegal Drug Markets, Research and Policy," byt Hough and Natarajan; "Crack Distribution and Abuse in New York," by Johnson, Dunlap and Tourigny; "How Young Britons Obtain Their Drugs: Drugs Transactions at the Point of Consumption," by Parker; "The Impact of Heroin Prescription on Heroin Markets in Switzerland," by Killias and Aebi; "Women as Judicious Consumers of Drug Markets," by Murphy and Arroyo; "Toward the Development of a Typolocy of Illegal Drug Markets," by Curtis and Wendel; "...Heroin Use and Dealing within an English Asian Community.." by Akhtar and South; "Swedish Drug Markets and Drugs Policy," by Knutsson; "Criminal Franchising: Albanians and Illicit Drugs in Italy," by Ruggiero; "A Geographic Analysis of Illegal Drug Markets," by Rengert, Chakravorty, Bole and Henderson; "Drug Trafficking as a Cottage Industry," by Eck and Gersh; "Understanding the Structure of a Drug Trafficking Organization: A Conversational Analysis," by Natarajan; "Performance Indicators and Drug Enforcement..." by Dorn; and "Connecting Drug Policy and Research on Drug Markets," by Reuter.
