Out-of-treatment dependent drinkers and people who use opiates or crack: The perceptions of professionals working in two locations in England
Background Following the influential Black Review, engaging out-of-treatment people who use drugs in structured provision was a particular priority in England. There is little known, however, about professionals’ perceptions of people who use opiates and/or crack, and dependent drinkers, who are not in structured treatment (OOT-PWUD).Methods Semi-structured interviews with 34 professionals who work with OOT-PWUD (defined as those who had not been…
Stranded on the rocks: “Unmet treatment need” amongst people who use crack cocaine in a town in Northern England
Background Since 2014, England has seen a steady increase in the number of people who use crack cocaine in the community. Increasing access to care-planned psychosocial drug treatment, which prioritizes the cessation of all drug use, has been a key policy response. Within this context, we present the first qualitative exploration of the needs of out-of-treatment people who use crack in England.Methods We conducted 36 semi-structured interviews wi…
‘Hiding in plain sight’: Organised crime, financial crime and property
This special issue of Trends in Organised Crime brings together recent empirical research on organised crime, financial crime and property. The collection comprises six original contributions, which collectively reveal the multiple ways property intersects with organised and financial crime – from organised violence against property, predatory landlordism, and domestic cannabis cultivation, to mortgage and real estate fraud, and money laundering
A Year Like No Other: Life on a Low Income during Covid-19
Money was already tight for UK families living on a low income before the COVID-19 pandemic, but national lockdowns made life much harder. Telling the stories of these families, this book exposes the ways that pre-existing inequalities, insecurities and hardships were amplified during the pandemic for families who were already in poverty before COVID-19, as well as those pushed into poverty by the economic fallout it created. Drawing on the Covid…
What discretion do you need?’ Factors influencing police decision-making in possession of cannabis offences
Research suggests that those most likely to be policed for cannabis possession are young, ethnically minoritised, urban males belonging to ‘suspect’ groups. This study examined police decision-making in cannabis possession cases in a Northern England force. Findings demonstrate that, outside of a few cases in which cannabis was being used in public, the policing of cannabis in this force area most often involved ‘accidental’ discovery, in the sen…
The Early Warning System: How frontline evidence helps us understand the UK’s social security response to Covid-19
This article reports on the Child Poverty Action Group Early Warning System (EWS), a database of case studies representing social security issues reported directly by frontline benefits advice workers and benefit claimants. It outlines what data from the EWS can tell us about how the social security system is functioning and how it has responded during the pandemic. It further details how insights from the EWS can be used by researchers and polic…
Capital depreciation: The lack of recovery capital and post-release support for prisoners leaving the Drug Recovery Wings in England and Wales
Conspicuous by their abstinence: The limited engagement of heroin users in English and Welsh Drug Recovery Wings
Establishing a ‘Corstonian’ continuous care pathway for drug using female prisoners: Linking Drug Recovery Wings and Women’s Community Services
This article outlines the findings from a rapid assessment of pilot Drug Recovery Wings (DRWs) in two women’s prisons and compares the DRW approach with work undertaken in Women’s Community Services (WCSs) commended by the Corston Report. The findings indicate that DRW1 was working more successfully in providing a ‘Corstonian’ approach than DRW2 and the reasons behind this are explored. The article argues that, while pockets of good practice such…
