Predictors of Hazardous Alcohol Consumption Among Young Adult Amphetamine-Type Stimulant Users
Background: Very high levels of alcohol consumption have been observed in young adult amphetamine-type stimulant (i.e., ecstasy and methamphetamine) users. The reasons for this association are poorly understood. Objective: To examine predictors of hazardous alcohol consumption in a sample of young adult amphetamine-type stimulant users after 30 months of follow-up, controlling for potential confounders. Method: Analysis of longitudinal data from …
Willingness to cooperate with police
While procedural justice has been highlighted as a key strategy for promoting cooperation with police, little is known about this model’s applicability to subgroups engaged in illegal behaviour, such as illicit drug users. This study compares willingness to cooperate with police and belief in police legitimacy, procedural justice and law legitimacy among a population-based sample of Australian young adult amphetamine-type stimulant (ATS; i.e. ecs…

Social Contacts and Ecstasy Offers
Ecstasy (MDMA) use is relatively common among young adults in many developed countries. However, little is known about how young non-users are first introduced to Ecstasy, including the relative contribution of peer networks and individual risk factors. We assess the role of social contact with Ecstasy-using peers in regard to young adults' exposure to offers of Ecstasy, using data from the Natural History Study, a population-based study conducte…
How market-oriented education policies might influence young people's health
BACKGROUND: School systems are increasingly typified by diversity of provision, parental choice and publication of performance data. Schools shape their students' lifestyles and health, but the effects of 'marketisation' are under-researched. The authors use qualitative data to develop a logic model regarding such effects. METHODS: Case studies in seven English secondary schools, interviews with 103 students and 39 staff. RESULTS: 'Parental choic…

The secondary-school ‘market’ and young people's health
Background Secondary schools are increasingly subject to quasi-markets in the UK, Europe and North America, typified by: diversity of school types; parents choosing where to apply; and government publishing school performance data. There is a paucity of research examining these policies potential for harming young people's health. Aim To develop a logic-model of mechanisms by which market-oriented education policies might influence students' heal…
The Techno-Fix Versus The Fair Cop
While the use of technology to monitor and punish suspected ‘ risky ’ populations is likely to increase, the experience of being on the receiving end of such enforcement has received relatively little attention. This paper presents research that considered one particular criminal justice ‘ techno-fi x ’ — the speed camera — from the perspective of those who encounter the technology as offenders. Such enforcement is commonly described by drivers a…
