Book excerpt: Qu'est-ce qu'une drogue ? Quels en sont les rites d'initiation, de transgression, d'intégration ? Comment fonctionne l'économie de drogues à l'échelle locale et mondiale ? Quels sont ses rapports avec la politique ? Les drogues ne sont-elles pas le reflet du malaise social, une sorte de miroir où la société peut déchiffrer l'état des liens qui relient ses membres ? Quoi qu'il en soit, la présence des drogues, et notamment auprès des jeunes, pose la question de leur traitement. Faut-il, face à ce fléau, réprimer ? Qui ? De quelle façon et au nom de quelles valeurs ? Soigner ? Mais comment ? Prévenir ? Par quelle politique ? La Commission sociale de l'épiscopat, fidèle à sa méthode, a demandé à des experts d'instruire le dossier, à des personnes engagées à différents niveaux de témoigner (médecin, juge, ancien toxicomomane, etc.), avant de prendre la parole dans une déclaration, publiée à la fin du volume.
Download or read book La politique de la stup faction written by Nicolas Carrier and published by Presses universitaires de Rennes. This book was released on 2015-07-17 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage propose une interprétation très novatrice – et critique – des politiques de prohibition. L'auteur n'oppose pas comme de coutume les politiques de répression et les politiques de prévention et de soins. Il montre au contraire comment le champ thérapeutique et diverses mesures de réduction des pratiques toxicomaniaques se placent sur un terrain qui a pour effet de renforcer le système actuel de criminalisation. De là, c'est toute la sociologie du droit que Nicolas Carrier réinterroge.
Download or read book Drugs and Culture written by Geoffrey Hunt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-13 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current approaches to drugs tend to be determined by medical and criminal visions that emerged over a century ago; the concepts of addiction, on the one hand, and drug control on the other, having imposed themselves as the unquestionable central notions surrounding drug issues and discourses. Pathologization and criminalization are the dominant perspectives on psychoactive drugs, and it is difficult to describe drug consumption in any terms other than those of medicine, or to conceive of regulation except in terms of control and eradication. Drugs and Culture presents other voices and understandings of drug issues, highlighting the socio-cultural features of drug use and regulation in modern societies. It examines the cultural dimensions of drugs and their regulation, with special attention to questions of how consumption of specific psychoactive substances becomes associated with particular social groups; the social dynamics involved in our coming to think of these phenomena as we do; and the factors that determine the political and policy responses to drug use. Adopting approaches from anthropology, sociology, history, political science and geopolitics to challenge the prevailing pathologization and criminalization of drug use, this book provides international and comparative perspectives on drug research, based on the latest research in Europe, the USA, the Middle East and Hong Kong.
Download or read book Soci t avec drogues written by Claude FAUGERON and published by Eres. This book was released on 2002-03-14 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les débats français sur les drogues ont profondément évolué ces dernières années. On a pris conscience qu'il pouvait y avoir des usages contrôlés de drogues illicites et des usages non contrôlés de produits licites ou détournés. Les auteurs présentent ici des travaux récents qui abordent la question selon trois approches : l'utilisation de produits psychotropes par des populations non stigmatisées comme les lycéens ou les sportifs ainsi que de leur usage contrôlé par des populations qui ne se trouvent pas sous le regard de la police et de la justice ; les dispositifs d'aide aux usagers de drogues illicites et de prévention qui se développent partout en Europe, comme le travail de proximité, les points-écoute ou les groupes d'autosupport ; la difficulté de renverser les logiques de fonctionnement d'institutions comme la police et la justice, et d'initier de nouvelles pratiques, de construire une politique de santé publique.
Download or read book Vivre avec les drogues written by Alain Ehrenberg and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce numéro spécial de la revue "Communications" réunit la plupart des contributions au séminaire 1994-1995 du groupement de recherche "Psychotropes, politique, société" du CNRS. Elles mettent en perspective la situation française en décrivant succinctement les débats sur les drogues illicites et les changements dans les régulations politiques dans quelques autres pays européens. Elles soulignent, d'autre part, la nécessité d'opérer une distinction des problèmes de drogue en trois registres : les politiques, les marchés et les usages, afin de mieux comprendre ce qu'ils recouvrent et mieux poser ce que leurs régulations désignent. La première partie traite à la fois des questions normatives et des régulations mises en oeuvre en France et dans 3 autres pays européens : Suisse, Allemagne et Italie. La 2ème partie propose une réflexion sur les politiques répressives qui prend en compte la diversité des marchés et des types d'acteurs impliqués. La 3ème partie est consacrée aux consommations et montre la diversité des usages et des parcours ; mieux les connaître étant indispensable à l'établissement d'une politique socio-sanitaire plus en prise sur les risques.

Download or read book Harm Reduction written by Patricia G. Erickson and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1997-12-15 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the First International Conference on the Reduction of Drug-Related Harm, held in 1990, the term 'harm reduction' has gained wide currency in the areas of public health and drug policy. Previously the field was characterized by heated struggle between prohibition and legalization of addictive substances, and this debate tended to obscure practical, collective approaches. Harm reduction, an approach which encompasses various policy directives and program initiatives was inspired by the positive outcomes of such public measures as needle-exchange programs for reduction of HIV risk, methadone maintenance programs, education on the risks of tobacco use, and programs designed to limit alcohol consumption. The essays in this book illustrate the scope and vigour of the emerging harm reduction model. The essays, drawn from seven international conferences on harm reduction, cover a wide variety of topics, including public policy, women and reproductive issues, the experiences of special populations, human rights; defining and measuring harm, and intervention. Researchers and practitioners will benefit from the varied papers in the volume, which combine insights into policy-making and front-line outreach efforts with comprehensive conceptual and empirical approaches. Harm Reduction represents an important initiative in making academic work accessible and useful to a larger community, and provides guidance for the development of effective policies and programs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This key work exposes international studies from leading social sciences researchers who use various theoretical perspectives and methodological orientations to depict deviant drug and crime-related pathways. The chapters have been grouped into four sections. The first section, Deviance, Set and Setting, discusses a new basis for the understanding of deviant pathways. The second section, Youth, Drug and Delinquency Pathways, presents empirical studies which help to understand the drug-crime relationship. The third section discusses Adult, Drug and Crime Pathways adopted by drug users, flexers , traders or dealers, and traffickers. Finally, the fourth section, Ways Out of deviant pathways, explores approaches for controlling drug use and criminality socially or individually, with or without legal intervention or formal help. In short, this book presents an invaluable overview of the most advanced research in the field of deviant drug-and crime-related pathways.

Download or read book Drugs and the Politics of Consumption in Japan written by Judith Vitale and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-10-09 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In early modern Japan, upper status groups coveted pills and powders made of exotic foreign ingredients such as mummy and rhinoceros horn. By the early twentieth century, over-the-counter-patent medicines, and, more alarmingly, morphine, had become mass commodities, fueling debates over opiates in Japan’s expanding imperial territories. The fall of the empire and the occupation of Japan by the United States created conditions favorable for heroin use, followed, in time, by glue sniffing and psychedelic mushroom ingestion. By illuminating the neglected history of drugs, this volume highlights both the transnational embeddedness and national peculiarities of the “politics of consumption” in Japan. Contributors are: Anna Andreeva, Oleg Benesch, William G. Clarence-Smith, Hung Bin Hsu, John Jennings, Miriam Kingsberg Kadia, William Marotti, Kōji Ozaki, Jonas Rüegg, Jesús Solís, Christopher W.A. Szpilman, Judith Vitale, and Timothy Yang.

Download or read book European Drug Policies written by Renaud Colson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-01-27 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The drug control regime established by the international community has not succeeded in curbing either the demand for, or the offer of, narcotics. But, despite a series of developments in the Americas – including the legalisation of cannabis in Uruguay and in several states in the United States of America – there is still little support in Europe for repealing drug-prohibition laws. Nevertheless, a gradual policy convergence reveals the emergence of a European model favouring public-health strategies over a strictly penal approach to combatting drugs, while growing transnational support for legalisation indicates the persistence of an alternative paradigm for drug policy. This book examines the various influences on drug policies in Europe, as grassroots movements, NGO networks, private foundations and academic research centres increasingly confront the prevailing discourses of drug prohibition. Pursuing an interdisciplinary approach and bringing together legal scholars, social scientists and practitioners, it provides a comprehensive and critical assessment of drug policy reform in Europe.
