Sex, Drugs and Toxic Waste: The Politics of
Regulation
Enrolment code: HSD207/307
Offered: Not offered in 2001
Unit description: Explores regulation as a type of public policy. The unit
examines theoretical approaches to understanding regulatory policy and what

redistribution and distribution. In addition to exploring conventional
approaches to regulation and self-regulation of industry for economic, social
and environmental purposes, the unit pays particular attention to the politics
surrounding regulatory issues, including both interest- and morals-based
demands for activities to be regulated. It explores the dilemmas posed by
approaches to the regulation of criminal activity, and attempts to regulate
‘sinful’ behaviour such as prostitution and drug-taking, as well as the
consequences of the demonisation of areas of activity such as waste
management, including the effectiveness of international prohibition regimes.
