Guest editors: Alex Stevens, Karen Joe-Laider. The Asian region is marked by a high number of killings that are carried out in the name of the war on drugs. Several countries retain the death penalty for drug offences, and there are also numerous extra-judicial killings of people who use drugs, especially in the Philippines. We now invite researchers in any discipline relevant to drug policy to submit articles for publication about the topic of killings that are carried out in Asia in the name of the war on drugs.
