Abingdon : Routledge . 2012. £80 (hbk ) xi + 214 pp. ISBN : 978-0-415-67133-0 Although crack cocaine is a drug that may be traced back to mid-1970s America, it did not begin to emerge in British settings until a decade later – and it was the mid-1990s before the drug began to equal (and subsequently overtake) the estimated prevalence of heroin use throughout the …
Generalizing Applied Qualitative Research on Harm Reduction
The small sample sizes and context-bound findings of qualitative research are commonly viewed as significant factors that limit its use (or “transferability”) in settings other than those in which the research was originally conducted. This perceived limitation is of particular importance in a field such as harm reduction where small sample sizes may be the only realistic option for studying the behavior of hard to reach groups. In this article w…

Traditionally visual methods have been used as adjunct means to record data and representations of individuals, groups and cultures. Having emerged from a research tradition deeply rooted within the field of social/cultural anthropology they…
