Évolution des problèmes liés à la toxicomanie et des politiques relatives aux drogues au Royaume-Uni
La Grande-Bretagne s’est préoccupée tardivement des problèmes causés par les drogues illicites. L’utilisation médicale de l’opium et de la morphine était connue au XIXe siècle et la Guerre de 1914-1918 a été témoin d’un bref épisode d’usage de la cocaïne. Depuis les années 1920, l’adoption du système du Rolleston Committee, a maintenu le niveau de toxicomanie à un seuil remarquablement bas mais le prétendu «système britannique» s’est effondré à l…
E’ is for enterprise
This article is derived from a study of 'middle-market' drug distribution funded by the Home Office. It involved prison interviews with middle and upper level drug dealers, and interviews with a range of enforcement personnel. The focus of the article is middle level drug markets in Ecstasy and stimulant drugs such as amphetamine and cocaine. A number of case studies are used to illustrate the varying kinds of brokerage, go-between and 'middle-ma…
King Pin? A Case Study of a Middle Market Drug Broker
The article is concerned with ‘middle market’ drug distribution, based on research that involved prison interviews with middle and upper level drug dealers and interviews with a range of enforcement personnel. It offers a preliminary discussion of different definitions of the ‘middle market’, where various forms of drug brokerage connect up different levels of drug markets. It goes on to provide a detailed case study of a single middle market dru…
Three English Romanesque Lecterns
Three surviving stone lecterns are described and analysed in terms of their petrography and sculptural style. The similarity between their petrography strongly suggests that they share a common origin, traceable to a quarry or quarries in the immediate vicinity of Much Wenlock, and that the similarity of sculptural style and dimensions points to them being a product of a single workshop. Furthermore, the authors suggest that the petrographie and …
Illegal Drug Markets
Mentally Disordered Offenders
The paper is based on an ongoing evaluation of a court‐based diversion scheme for mentally disordered offenders in a busy inner‐London magistrates' court. It begins'with a review of the field, in particular the different decision‐making points at which diversion schemes of this kind might be situated. This is followed by an account of the early experience of the Islington Mentally Disordered Offenders Project which began in the early 1990s. Atten…

Drug-Control Policies in Britain
The British approach to heroin addiction has been widely misunderstood. The "British system" did not break down in the 1960s under the pressure of an upsurge in heroin misuse. The 1960s heroin phenomenon was a relatively minor difficulty almost entirely confined to London and failed to dislodge the medical profession from its central role in the British response to serious drug misuse. During the 1980s, however, a major heroin epidemic spread rap…

Crime, Localities and the Multi-Agency Approach
The ‘multi-agency’ approach to crime prevention has received considerable attention in recent years. This paper examines both theoretical and practical aspects of multi-agency work, in the light of research conducted over two years in a small number of neighbourhoods in inner London and a Lancashire town. Two contrasting forms of conventional understanding of the multi-agency approach—the ‘benevolent’ as against the ‘conspiratorial’ thesis—are ex…
