Typologies of Canadian young adults who drive after cannabis use
Young adults that drive after cannabis use (DACU) may not share all the same characteristics. This study aimed to identify typologies of Canadians who engage in DACU. About 910 cannabis users with a driver's license (17–35 years old) who have engaged in DACU completed an online questionnaire. Two‐step cluster analysis identified four subgroups, based on driving‐related behaviors, cannabis use and related problems, and psychological distress. Comp…

Drugs and Crime Deviant Pathways
The contributors to this study examine the extended processes that are involved when drugs become determinative for other forms of deviant behaviour. They present a multidisciplinary approach to the study of drug abuse and crime
A Qualitative Study of Addiction Help-Seeking in People with Different Co-occurring Mental Disorders and Substance Use Problems
Initiation of Addiction Treatment and Access to Services
Substance addiction in young adults is particularly problematic. Yet, much remain at stake in understanding the specifics of this population's access to services. The objective of this study is to explore young adults' initiation of substance misuse treatment. Our study sample was composed of 35 individuals aged 18 to 30 with problematic psychoactive substance use who have been identified in criminal courts, hospital emergency departments, and He…
Drogue et criminalité
Drogue et criminalité
Concevoir la question des drogues illicites en dehors de leur contexte criminel est difficile. Certaines questions reviennent immanquablement : prendre de la drogue pousse-t-il vraiment à la délinquance ? Existe-t-il des drogues aux propriétés criminogènes ? Pourquoi un toxicomane se tourne-t-il vers la criminalité ? Quelles sont les meilleures façons d'intervenir auprès des personnes qui ont de graves problèmes de consommation ? Cette troisième …
Implementing Key Strategies for Successful Network Integration in the Quebec Substance-Use Disorders Programme
Important investments have been made in Quebec for the training and assessment of individuals with substance-use disorders, particularly in terms of support for emergency room liaison teams and the introduction of standardised clinical evaluation tools. However, the development of integration strategies was insufficient to ensure the implementation of successful networks. Planning, consolidation of primary care for substance-use disorders and sys…
Negotiating Identity
This qualitative study aimed to comprehend how mothers experienced and built their maternal identity throughout their lives. Thirty-eight semi-structured interviews were conducted with drug-using and law-breaking mothers. Results showed that three events were significant for participants: pregnancies, loss of custody, and incarceration. As each event challenged their maternal identity, they questioned their substance use and their criminal involv…
Factors associated with the motivation to use psychoactive substances and the motivation to change in adolescents in an authoritarian context
Gambling in Detention
Although the prison subculture encourages solidarity and mutual support, this does not suffice to control all behaviors inside the walls, since physical and verbal aggressions still occur between inmates. Gambling in prison leads to certain frictions, such as quarrels or threats. However, these frictions are better explained by the characteristics of the prison environment. The real problem would not lie necessarily in the inmates' gambling habit…
A Canadian perspective on cannabis normalization among adults
Once associated with ‘deviant’ subcultures, the use of cannabis is now common across Canadian society. This has led some to argue that cannabis use is becoming normalized in Canada with important implications for drug policy, law enforcement and public health. This article takes up these issues, reporting the results of a qualitative study involving 165, socially integrated, adult cannabis users in four Canadian cities (Vancouver, Montreal, Toron…

La restriction de l’usage du tabac en prison au Québec
L’objectif principal de cet article est de mieux connaître les perceptions de personnes détenues en ce qui a trait aux effets sur le climat carcéral d’un règlement qui vise à restreindre l’usage du tabac dans les établissements de détention québécois. Une méthodologie mixte a été employée afin de recueillir des données auprès de 113 personnes détenues dans trois établissements de détention du Québec. Les données quantitatives ont été analysées de…

Teen Drug Sellers—An International Study of Segregated Drug Markets and Related Violence
This study explores patterns of drug dealing in a multi-site sample of detained youth. Data are derived from the Drugs, Alcohol, Violence International (DAVI) study of male and female adolescents between the ages of 14–17 in four metropolitan areas: Amsterdam (The Netherlands), Montreal (Canada), Philadelphia (US), and Toronto (Canada). In a sample of 764 juvenile detainees, 60% overall reported predetention involvement in selling drugs, but this…
Les substances psychoactives au Canada
Cet article présente un portrait général de la situation du Canada à l’égard des drogues illicites. D’abord, une perspective historique des origines des lois sur les drogues, aussi bien qu’une description des lois actuelles et des coûts attribuables à l’application de ces lois sont exposées. Ensuite, nous analysons la Stratégie canadienne antidrogue, ses paradoxes et ses répercussions sur les politiques des drogues. La tendance vers la stabilisat…
Les drogues et les questions criminelles
Bien que la recherche sur le lien entre les drogues et la criminalité ne constitue pas une préoccupation majeure chez beaucoup de chercheurs québécois, les cinq dernières années ont vu un nombre croissant d'études sur ce thème. Ces études peuvent se regrouper en quatre axes : 1) les politiques criminelles ; 2) les études de prévalence ; 3) laI relation drogue-crime et 4) l'intervention et son impact. Les résultats de ces enquêtes ont apporté des …
Points de vue de femmes incarcérées dans des établissements fédéraux concernant les impacts du contexte carcéral sur leur trajectoire de consommation de drogues1
La consommation de substances psychoactives (SPA) chez les femmes détenues ne fait que très rarement l’objet de recherches. Pourtant, l’usage de SPA chez les femmes judiciarisées avant leur incarcération est fréquent. Le matériel qualitatif traité dans le cadre de cet article de même que les analyses qui en découlent visent à améliorer notre compréhension des trajectoires de consommation des femmes incarcérées et à aborder des dimensions essentie…
Health and Social Services Accessed by a Cohort of Canadian Illicit Opioid Users Outside of Treatment
Determinants of Property Crime Among Illicit Opiate Users Outside of Treatment Across Canada
Criminal activities account for a major proportion of the social costs related to illicit drug use. This article examines the factors contributing to property crime activity among a community sample of 653 untreated regular illicit opiate users in 5 Canadian cities (OPICAN study). Multivariate analyses showed the frequency of heroin, cocaine, and crack use, gender, housing status, and past criminal justice involvement as predictors of property cr…
Les jeunes et les drogues
Contrairement à ce que les études précédentes avaient démontré, la consommation d’alcool et de drogues ferait partie de l'ensemble des activités quotidiennes des jeunes, incluant l'école et la pratique des sports, et ce, dans tous les milieux socioéconomiques. L'utilisation des substances psychoactives chez les jeunes est un domaine relativement peu connu et on en sait encore moins sur le développement de la dépendance pour ces derniers ; c'est p…
Drug-crime Relations among Drug-Consuming Juvenile Delinquents
From a phenomenological perceptual stance, we aim, in this article at revealing youths' own personal perceptions regarding the drug-crime nexus in their trajectories. Within a qualitative research approach, autobiographical accounts were used with 38 young drug users and delinquents between 16 and 18 years old (22 boys and 16 girls). With the reference point of this article being Goldstein's (1985) tripartite drug-crime model, our results show su…

The issue of drugs and crime among a sample of incarcerated women
Based on a sample of incarcerated women in Quebec prisons in 1989, this study focuses on drug use and abuse and its relation to crime with a special concern for age of onset, nature of conviction, previous involvement in criminal activities, motivation, and other related variables. The emerging profile of these subjects is one of drug‐related problems rather than a deep involvement in criminality. Within this population of women prisoners a stron…

La consommation de substances psycho-actives chez les femmes détenues au Québec
Compared to male offenders, very few studies have been published on drug use by female offenders. This paper, base on the interviews of 94 female offenders incarcerated aim to enlighten this obscure situation. Results indicate that drug use by female inmates is very important and, in some way problematic. It is not to say that their drug use cause crimes, but their drug problem need to be addressed thoughtfully
Le traitement de la toxicomanie comme alternative à l’incarcération
Toxicomanie et criminalité sont des comportements fréquemment associés. Dans un objectif de réduction de la récidive, le traitement des toxicomanes apparaît dans la littérature américaine comme une solution plus efficace que l'incarcération et beaucoup moins dispendieuse. Qu'en est-il au Québec ? Pour répondre à cette question, 20 intervenants de la région de Montréal et de Trois-Rivières œuvrant dans le domaine de la justice, de la sécurité publ…

L’injonction thérapeutique à l’égard des toxicomanes
In Canada, the total amount of accusations, in compliance with the laws on drugs, show a slight but constant progression. More than half of the sentences for drug-linked offenses have lead to incarceration, a third of the people sentenced for a simple drug possession have been jailed. The relevance of these sentences, making the Canadian detention centres populated with more drug addicts than the rehabilitation centres, is questionable. In France…

The Evolution of the Canadian Forces' Alcoholism Rehabilitation Program Evaluation System
After a brief description of the Canadian Forces Alcoholics Rehabilitation Program, this paper will describe the evolution of the evaluation system used to measure the program's effectiveness. This evolution could appear to be very long. However, one must keep in mind that the aim of federal departments is not to do research but to provide services to the population. Thus, program evaluation is not a very high priority and must be sold on a day t…
Abstinence versus Nonabstinence
Since the end of the nineteenth century, various attitudes toward alcoholism--from moralistic and legalistic to those rooted in medicine and psychology--have been adopted. Some of these have persisted and continue to influence the treatment programs available to alcoholics. One of the most popular explanatory models today is the traditional model, which prescribes abstinence as a treatment objective. However, more and more studies are showing tha…

Validity and relevance of self-report data provided by criminalized addicted persons in treatment
Treatment of criminalized individuals with addictions poses a number of difficulties. One of these difficulties is linked to the lack of validity – perceived or real – of self report. Lack of validity of self-report data could compromise the treatment process itself as well as the assessment of changes that have occurred in the course of treatment. The present study compares certain self-report data provided by criminalized addicts involved in a …
