Friendly Business
Based on social research conducted in different countries in Europe, the U.S. and Australia, this anthology is the first to provide detailed insights into small-scale drug distribution. A main focus is the phenomenon of ‘social supply’, i.e. buying illicit drugs from friends, which covers a substantial part of the retail market. For cannabis users, cultivating their own plants is another important source. This volume deals with different social aspects of these non-profit-oriented forms of drug distribution, as well as profit-oriented small-scale dealing. While the illicit drug trade is commonly referred to as a world dominated by ruthless criminals, this book draws a different picture.

It advances the existing scholarship on attacks, infiltration, and capture of legal businesses by organized crime and sheds light on the important role the private sector can play to fight back. It considers a range of industries from bars and restaurants to labour-intensive enterprises such as construction and waste management, to sectors susceptible to illicit activities including transportation, wholesale and retail trade, and businesses controlled by fragmented legislation such as gambling....

Zwischen Rausch und Realität
Zwischen den Extrempolen einer Abhängigkeit und totalen Abstinenz von Drogen entfaltet sich ganz offensichtlich ein breites Spektrum unterschiedlichster Drogengebrauchsformen. Das vorliegende Buch richtet die Aufmerksamkeit auf einen Teilausschnitt dieses breiten Spektrums: auf die Gruppe der kontrollierten Konsumenten illegaler Drogen, die in der Drogenforschung selten Beachtung findet.
Das Frankfurter Bahnhofsviertel
Das Frankfurter Bahnhofsviertel gibt auf den ersten Blick den Eindruck einer öffentlichen Inszenierung abweichenden Verhaltens. Die Vielzahl der dort versammelten sozialen Problemlagen, Kontraste und Asymmetrien ist für den Stadtteil scheinbar identitätsstiftend. Auf der Hinterbühne stellt sich diese Dramaturgie jedoch als ein komplexes Geflecht von Aushandlungen, Wissensbeständen, Machtverhältnissen und gezielter Steuerung heraus.

Encyclopedia of Gangs
In light of Los Angeles' gang state of emergency, ethnic and minority gangs are arguably more high profile now than at any other time in our history. News media typically focus on the crime and violence associated with gangs, but not much else. This encyclopedia seeks to illuminate the world of gangs, including gang formations, routine gang activities, aberrations and current developments. One hundred essay entries related to gangs in the United States and worldwide provide a diffuse overview of the gang phenomenon.
