Implementing a gender approach in drug policies: prevention, treatment and criminal justice
Integrating gender into all aspects of drug policy, including the criminal justice system. In its efforts to place human rights at the heart of drug policies, the Pompidou Group has decided to pursue further the work already undertaken towards integrating a gender dimension into drug policy by developing a handbook covering different drug policy areas. It seeks to promote gender sensitivity in drug responses as essential leverage to reduce health inequities and to respect human rights, especially the rights to diversity and dignity for women, men and non-binary people. The publication begins with an overview of epidemiological evidence on gender-based differences in drug use and related cons...
American Trip
How historical, social, and cultural forces shaped the psychedelic experience in midcentury America, from CIA LSD experiments the Harvard Psilocybin Project. Are psychedelics invaluable therapeutic medicines, or dangerously unpredictable drugs that precipitate psychosis? Tools for spiritual communion or cognitive enhancers that spark innovation? Activators for one's private muse or part of a political movement? In the 1950s and 1960s, researchers studied psychedelics in all these incarnations, often arriving at contradictory results. In American Trip, Ido Hartogsohn examines how the psychedelic experience in midcentury America was shaped by historical, social, and cultural forces—by set (t...
Towards Drug Policy Justice
Taking the shifting global drug policy terrain as a starting point, this collection moves beyond debates about whether to reform drug policies to a focus on delivering ‘drug policy justice’ – repairing the damage caused by the war on drugs as a component of reform efforts and safeguarding against future harms in legal markets. This book brings together some of the leading international thinkers and advocates on harm reduction and drug policy to introduce key questions in contemporary drug policy. Across five themes, and with contributions from different regions and disciplines, it explores ethical, legal, empirical and historical perspectives on delivering ‘drug policy justice’ from supply through to use. Essays cover a wide range of issues, from the effects of COVID on drug policy to securing economic and environmental justice, and from human rights in Asian drug policy to questions of race and equity in cannabis reforms, providing diverse insights on both prominent and overlooked drug policy challenges. Towards Drug Policy Justice is a benchmark text for scholars, students, advocates and policymakers as the book explores new models of global drug policy reform.
Volume 4: Policy and Planning
Drawing from case studies across the globe, this book explores how the pandemic and the policies it has prompted have caused changes in the ways cities function. The contributors examine the advancing social inequality brought on by the pandemic and suggest policies intended to contain contagion whilst managing the economy in these circumstances.
Intégration d'une dimension de genre dans les politiques en matière de drogues
Intégrer la dimension de genre dans tous les aspects de la politique en matière de drogue, y compris dans le système de justice pénale Dans le cadre de ses efforts pour placer les droits de l’homme au cœur des politiques en matière de drogues, le Groupe Pompidou a décidé de poursuivre le travail déjà entrepris pour intégrer la dimension de genre dans les politiques en matière de drogues en élaborant un manuel couvrant différents domaines de ces politiques. Ce manuel promeut la prise en compte de la dimension de genre dans les réponses aux problèmes de drogues, en tant que levier essentiel pour réduire les inégalités en matière de santé et respecter les droits de l’ho...
Advances in Psychedelic Medicine
Researchers, program administrators, and practicing clinicians explain the most recent developments in using psychedelic substances to treat psychological, physiological, and social problems. More than a decade ago, the U.S. government lifted its ban on all testing of psychedelic substances. Winkelman and Sessa now provide updated scientific research and applications of these substances, now moving into approved categories of medicine. The text is an up-to-date assessment of the latest advances in the field of psychedelic medicine, covering the use of LSD, psilocybin, MDMA, ayahuasca, and other substances to augment psychotherapies for a range of disorders. It discusses medical and psychiatr...
Redução de danos em contexto de festas
A redução de danos se consolidou no cenário nacional e internacional a partir das práticas, concepções e políticas públicas vinculadas ao cuidado de pessoas que utilizam drogas injetáveis. Desde então, a redução de danos se ampliou, chegando a diferentes cenários de consumo de substâncias, inclusive ao contexto de festas. O livro Redução de Danos em Contexto de Festas, organizado por Fernando Beserra, apresenta, em seus doze capítulos, as práticas e concepções teóricas da redução de danos nestes espaços. São abordadas as ações realizadas em festas universitárias, LGBTQIAP+, de música eletrônica e no carnaval. Debate-se o suporte a crises induzidas por psicodélicos; a música na redução de danos; o uso das tecnologias virtuais no âmbito da redução de danos; as tecnologias de testagem de substâncias no Brasil e em Portugal, as práticas de redução de danos vinculadas ao uso de LSD e a importância e história dos conceitos de set e setting. Ao se aproximar de 15 anos de ações de redução de danos em contexto de festas no Brasil, busca-se com este livro contribuir para o desenvolvimento e ampliação destas práticas.
Exploring Nightlife
While the night has long been associated with crime and fear, over recent decades ‘nightlife’ has become increasingly associated with the creative economy, tourism, sociability, job growth, and urban regeneration. Debates about anti-social behaviour, morality, and safety continue to shape our understanding of the night but newer concerns have also emerged about gentrification, economic and social exclusion, commercialisation, and over-development. Exploring Nightlife: Space, Society and Governance is the first edited volume that critically examines nightlife from a cross-disciplinary and international perspective. Comprising original contemporary research, the collection brings together ...
Women and Substance Use
Elizabeth Ettorre offers a clear account of women and substance use in a field which has been resistant to a woman-oriented perspective. The authors of most "addiction studies" view women as stigmatized and marginalized. Ettorre strongly counters this perspective. She focuses specifically on women's use of alcohol, prescribed drugs (specifically minor tranquilizers), heroin, tobacco, and food. Using the term "substance use" rather than "abuse" throughout the text, she directly challenges ideas regarding women in the field of addiction. More significantly, Ettorre deliberately puts forward a feminist perspective rooted in the identity and consciousness of women substance users. In order to ex...
Advances in Carbon Capture
Advances in Carbon Capture reviews major implementations of CO2 capture, including absorption, adsorption, permeation and biological techniques. For each approach, key benefits and drawbacks of separation methods and technologies, perspectives on CO2 reuse and conversion, and pathways for future CO2 capture research are explored in depth. The work presents a comprehensive comparison of capture technologies. In addition, the alternatives for CO2 separation from various feeds are investigated based on process economics, flexibility, industrial aspects, purification level and environmental viewpoints. - Explores key CO2 separation and compare technologies in terms of provable advantages and limitations - Analyzes all critical CO2 capture methods in tandem with related technologies - Introduces a panorama of various applications of CO2 capture
