The Nature and Implications of Lifestyle Transitions for Persistent Heroin Use
Background While existing research has tended to focus on specific drug user groups, the current paper explores how people who use heroin might move between such groups over time. Building on previous research that has identified types of heroin-using lifestyles, we investigate the nature and extent of lifestyle transitions from one type to another. In doing so, we examine the implications that lifestyle transitions might have for drug use as wel…
Variations in the accomplishment of persistent heroin use in Wales: A typology of users’ lifestyles
Background Much of the previous qualitative research on heroin users has focused on the progression and inevitable decline of a heroin using career or the struggles and setbacks of small single groups of heroin users. Much less attention has been paid to the ability of heroin users to successfully integrate heroin use into their broader lifestyles. We build on this literature by offering a contemporary view of the lives of heroin users in the Uni…

Characteristics and correlates of drug use and misuse among university students in Wales: A survey of seven universities
Background: Over the last ten years, there has been a worldwide expansion of research on drug use among university students. However, this trend has been less noticeable in the United Kingdom (UK). The aim of the current study is to add to the existing research base by investigating some of the characteristics and correlates of drug use among university students in the UK.Methods: Seven of the nine universities in Wales collaborated in a national…

The emergence and evolution of drug user groups in the UK
The aim of this article is to describe and explain the development of drug user groups in the UK and elsewhere by drawing on a case study of one of the earliest drug user association formed in England in 1983, known as the Drug Dependents’ Association. By way of context, a literature search was conducted to find other examples of original case studies of early drug user groups. The main method of investigating the case study arose out of the reco…

Ethnic Group Differences in Drug Misuse Among Arrestees in the United Kingdom
Traditionally, the addiction literature has focused on white drug users and less attention has been given to users from ethnic minority groups. More recently, research investigating ethnic group differences in drug use and associated problem behaviors has emerged. This paper contributes to the growing research base by drawing on data collected from structured interviews with 4,631 arrestees conducted as part of the New English and Welsh Arrestee …
Variations in Drug Users' Accounts of the Connection Between Drug Misuse and Crime
A great deal of progress has been made in identifying explanations for the links between drug use and crime. However, less progress has been made in the application of these explanations. In particular, less is known about whether some explanations are more common than others, whether some are linked to certain conditions, whether some apply only to certain individuals, and whether some apply only to certain kinds of drug use and crime. In this a…
The Foreground Dynamics of Street Robbery in Britain
Research into the situational dynamics of street robbery in the United States has identified a commitment to street culture, and participation in the self-indulgent activities promoted by that culture, as primary etiological mechanisms operating in the phenomenological foreground of such offences. Little research, however, has been undertaken on the extent to which British street robberies evolve out of similar cultural dynamics. This paper, base…

Possession and Use of Illegal Guns Among Offenders in England and Wales
There is a growing concern about the extent of gun possession and use among criminals. Despite this concern, relatively little is known about gun ownership in the offender population. This article aims to help fill this gap by drawing on the results of interviews with arrestees conducted in 16 locations in England and Wales as part of the NEW‐ADAM (New English and Welsh Arrestee Drug Abuse Monitoring) programme. In order to monitor gun crime and …
Confidence in the Police as a mediating Factor in the Fear of Crime
The paper draws attention to findings of research which show or suggest that confidence in the police might be negatively correlated with fear of crime. The paper argues that the potential mediating effect of confidence in the police on fear is an important research issue as it might suggest practicable policy options. In order to examine this relation aggregated data drawn from surveys conducted in four residential areas in England were analysed…
A National Activity Survey of Police Work
The study comprises a national activity survey of the distribution of time spent on various policing tasks among a sample of over 1,600 community constables and general duty officers. The results of the survey show that about one‐third of a typical tour of duty of community constables and about two‐fifths of the typical duty tour of general duty officers is spent inside the station. When inside the station the major proportion of their time is sp…
A Survey of the Allocation and Use of Community Constables in England and Wales
The paper presents the findings of a national survey of the allocation and use of community constables among police forces in England and Wales. The methods used involved distributing a self-administered questionnaire to a sample of permanent beat officers and general duty officers in thirty-nine of the forty-three forces. The research found that the proportion of all uniform patrol officers allocated to beat duties varied widely among police for…
The Effectiveness of a Police-Initiated Fear-Reducing Strategy
The paper presents the results of a quasi-experimental evaluation of the impact of a policing initiative which aimed to reduce fear of crime and to improve the quality of life of residents in two chosen areas. The results show that the programme was fully implemented during the experimental period. There was no evidence that the programme achieved its major outcome goal of directly reducing the fear of crime. There was evidence, however, that the…
Factors Related to Participation in Neighbourhood Watch Schemes
The development of community crime prevention programmes in the United States of America has been accompanied by a growing body of research which has aimed to determine the characteristics of residents who participate in these programmes. This research has been oriented by two perspectives on motivation: one view is that perceived crime problems stimulate collective action, and participants are more likely than non-participants to be fearful of c…
An Assessment of the Design, Implementation and Effectiveness of Neighbourhood Watch in London
This paper presents the findings of a recently completed evaluation of two Neighbourhood Watch schemes in London. The main research method was based on crime and public attitude surveys of the two Neighbourhood Watch areas before the schemes were implemented and again one year after their implementation. Similar surveys were conducted in a displacement and a control area as a comparison. The results showed that crime increased slightly in the sch…
The Drug‐Taking Careers of Opioid Users 1
The paper presents the findings of a research project which included the study of the drug‐taking careers of regular opioid users. Samples were drawn from among addicts currently receiving a prescription from a NHS clinic, a general practitioner and a private practitioner and addicts who were currently dependent solely on black‐market supplies. The results derived from extensive interviews showed that users exert substantial control over the prog…
