Recovery Capital in Chinese Drug Rehabilitation
Liberatory Harm Reduction on the Abolitionist Horizon
The incorporation of harm reduction into public policy has tended to be framed as replacing the dominance of criminal legal approaches to drug use with public health frameworks. However, little consideration has been given to the ways in which continued reliance on, and proximity to, the state remains problematic for the communities most harshly impacted by carceral systems. Reflecting on this tension, we draw on the work of community organizer S…
Strengths, Experiences, and Learning Support Needs of System-Impacted Students in Criminology and Law
University systems have long acknowledged the learning needs of diverse student cohorts, including those based on race, socio-economic status, and disability. Universities have far less often recognized the relationship between these groups and the differential impacts of the criminal legal system that affect education pathways and experiences. At a time when the expansion of diversity initiatives characterizes higher education, this paper draws …
Innocent Addictions
Media coverage of non-medical pharmaceutical use has consistently presented it to be a “different” kind of drug problem, one that involves substances not typically thought of as drugs of abuse or addiction and among people not normally associated with illicit drugs and the “criminal addict.” Though differential media treatment of dependence on criminalized drugs versus pharmaceutical products is well documented in the North American context, less…
The gendered violence of injecting‐related stigma among relatively affluent, suburban women who inject drugs
“No penalties. No arrests. No jails”
The decriminalization of drug possession in varied forms is gaining some traction around the world. Yet prospects for people with lived and living experience of drug use to influence the direction of drug law and policy reform remains bound by stigma and exclusion. This study considers the aspirations for decriminalization of people who inject drugs through 20 semi-structured qualitative interviews with the clients of the Sydney injecting centre.…
The Coloniality of drug prohibition
There have been several recent commentaries which have highlighted the relevance of the postcolonial perspective to drug prohibition and called for the decolonisation of drug policy (Daniels et al., 2021; Hillier, Winkler & Lavallée, 2020; Lasco, 2022; Mills, 2019). While these are significant interventions in the field, sparse drugs scholarship has engaged more directly with well-developed literature and concepts from Critical Indigenous Studies…
Towards a social harm approach in drug policy
In this paper, we explore how the social harm approach can be adapted within drug policy scholarship. Since the mid-2000s, a group of critical criminologists have moved beyond the concept of crime and criminology, towards the study of social harm. This turn proceeds decades of research that highlights the inequities within the criminal legal system, the formation of laws that protect the privileged and punish the disadvantaged, and the systemic c…
Injection drug use in an affluent beachside community in Sydney
Is non-medical use normal? Normalisation, medicalisation and pharmaceutical consumption
The theory of the normalisation of youth drug use in advanced capitalist societies has had an enduring legacy in contemporary drug scholarship. While the literature on the normalisation of 'illicit' drugs is well developed, less has been written about application of the theory to emerging discourse of pharmaceutical 'abuse', and how this might necessitate different thinking around what can be considered normal consumption. Pharmaceuticals are not…
Overdose Has Many Faces”
Drug consumption room literature often presents overdose as a stable phenomenon, which can be responded to in the same way from one context to the next. The literature is dominated by a clinical paradigm that implies that consumption rooms are effective because they provide sterile spaces and medical supervision, yet this is not the only way in which such services are delivered, nor is it the only component of the care provided at centers with a …
Lives Worth Grieving
This article explores the differential coverage of drug overdose death in three major Australian newspapers between 2015 and 2020. It outlines the number of articles, the types of voices, and emotional collectives drawn on in three types of overdose death stories: those related to injecting drug use, pharmaceuticals (largely opioids), and those that occurred at music festivals. Our analysis finds that in each newspaper festival deaths are reporte…
Grew Up with a Silver Spoon in My Mouth, But it Ended Up the Nose
Criminological scholarship has long grappled with the roles that stigma and labelling play in drug use in disadvantaged communities. While stigma leads to marginalisation, less is known about the way stigma impacts the structurally advantaged, or those from communities of relative affluence. Our research involved fieldwork and 18 qualitative interviews with people who inject drugs in the affluent coastal community of Sydney’s Northern Beaches. We…
The case for a second safe injecting facility (SIF) in Sydney
Sydney’s Medically Supervised Injecting Centre in Kings Cross has been a major national and global example of successful harm reduction in relation to illicit drug use ever since it opened its doors 18 years ago. However, since then Sydney has undergone significant transformations as a city, including gentrification of the inner Sydney suburbs where the injecting centre operates and expansions to its Western and South Western suburbs where many o…
