An Exploratory Analysis of the Role of Christian Faith-Based Leaders on Ghana's Cannabis Reform: Balancing Public Health, Harm Reduction, and Justice
Over the decades, cannabis use has increased significantly in Ghana, especially among the youth. Historically, a simple charge of marijuana possession in Ghana was illegal and could result in a prison sentence of up to 10 years. Recently, the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) enacted drug reforms to balance criminal enforcement and public health, minimizing harm to users and their broader communities. Using semi-structured interviews, this art…
Punitiveness and Perceptions of Criminality: An Examination of Attitudes Toward Immigrant Offenders
This study examines the effect of the residency status (undocumented immigrant, refugee, or U.S. citizen) and the country of origin-ethnicity of an offender on perceptions of criminality and on the level of punitiveness expressed by a random sample of college seniors attending a southwestern university. A factorial survey design was administered asking respondents to apply a punishment (incarceration or no incarceration) and to rate the level of …
Health Disparities in Jail Populations: Mixed Methods and Multi-Disciplinary Community Engagement for Justice and Health Impacts
This special issue of Practicing Anthropology presents multi-disciplinary and multisectoral views of a community engaged health disparities project titled “Health Disparities in Jail Populations: Converging Epidemics of Infectious Disease, Chronic Illness, Behavioral Health, and Substance Abuse.” The overall project incorporated traditional anthropological mixed-methods approaches with theory and methods from informatics, epidemiology, genomics, …

The current article examines a research team's experience in conducting a related study (see Trotter et al. 2018) by high…

Here in the United States, public support for the legalization of marijuana for recreational use is substantial. With public support, both Colorado and Washington passed state initiatives in 2012 to legalize recreational use of marijuana for individuals aged 21 years and older. Even the federal government has recently reversed their i…
