Legacies of the Lost in Criminology
Understanding Drug Dealing and Illicit Drug Markets
Traversing the fantasy of drugs
Drug use is a transient rather than a fixed range of practices. Drug markets are constantly evolving as substances, both old and new, move in and out of fashion. If we are to understand this process of evolution, it must be placed against a background of consumer capitalism. Building on the author’s previous work, this article seeks to move beyond existing theories to examine the nexus of drug use, pleasure and consumerism. This article draws upo…
Cultural Competence to Cultural Obsolescence
Locked up While Locked Down
Worldwide, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a devastating impact on prisoners. The prison environment and prisoner health put prison populations at a higher risk of contracting COVID-19. As a result, prison systems have adopted mitigation strategies to reduce the transmission of the virus into and within prisons. These strategies, however, have had an unintended impact on prisoners and their living conditions. In this article, we explore prisoners’ …
Childhood Trauma, Problematic Drug Use and Coping
Childhood trauma contributes to increased risk of drug use, deviance, and offending in adulthood, but less is known about the exact relationship that exists between these phenomena, particularly among men. Instead the precise nature of the relationship for men is equivocal and varies across research studies, thus illustrating the need for further investigation, which is the rationale underpinning this research. Consequently, this internationally …
Enlightened hedonism? Independent drug checking amongst a group of ecstasy users
Prohibition, privilege and the drug apartheid
It appears to be a time of turbulence within the global drug policy landscape. The historically dominant model of drug prohibition endures, yet a number of alternative models of legalization, decriminalization and regulation are emerging across the world. While critics have asserted that prohibition and the ensuing ‘war on drugs’ lack both an evidence base and legitimacy, reformers are embracing these alternatives as indicators of progressive cha…
The haunting spectacle of crystal meth
For over a decade the media have been reporting in alarmist tones that ‘crystal meth is coming’ to the UK. Using clichéd discourse (‘crazed’, ‘epidemic’, ‘horror’, etc.) and visual images of deformed and disfigured faces, the meanings attached to the drug are clear: crystal meth creates dangerous ‘others’. Yet an identifiable crystal meth problem has hitherto failed to materialise, and press reporting of the issue appears to constitute an exempla…
Bars, drugs and football thugs
This article draws on ethnographic fieldwork, the aim of which was to explore the functionality of cocaine (used in conjunction with alcohol and on its own) in the subcultural milieu of the English football firm. The study was originally concerned with the use of violence associated with cocaine use among football fans on match days but, like much ethnography, the research evolved beyond its original remit to include the extension of football fir…
