Alex Stevens is Professor in Criminal Justice at the University of Kent. He is also President of the International Society for the Study of Drug Policy and a member of the UK Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD). He has worked on issues of drugs, drug trafficking and drug-related harms since 1991. In the 19990s, he led the European Network of Drug and HIV/AIDS Services in Prisons. In the 2000s, he led the QCT Europe project; a five-country study of quasi-compulsory treatment of drug dependent offenders. Since 2010, he has published a book called Drugs, “Crime and Public Health”, worked on various studies of decriminalisation (including his work on Portuguese drug policy with Dr Caitlin Hughes), and collaborated with RAND Europe on a study of alternatives to coercive sanctions for drug-related offenders. His most recent projects include a realist review of alternatives to criminalisation for the Irish government, and a report on reducing drug-related harms in community-custody transitions for the ACMD.
