The Governance of Female Drug Users

  • Type: Book
  • -
  • Published: 2016-06-01
  • -
  • Publisher: Policy Press

Available Open Access under CC-BY-NC licence. This book is the first to examine how female drug user's identities, and hence their experiences, are shaped by drug policies. It analyses how the subjectivities ascribed to women users within drug policy sustain them in their problematic use and reinforce their social exclusion. Challenging popular misconceptions of female users, the book calls for the formulation of drug policies to be based on gender equity and social justice. It will appeal to academics in the social sciences, practitioners and policy makers.

  • Publisher: Routledge

Drawing on recent international developments in criminal justice, Restorative Approaches to Conflict in Schools highlights the long-term ineffectiveness of punitive models of discipline in education contexts and examines an alternative approach, underpinned by the principles of restorative justice. This approach provides an opportunity for adults and young people to engage with a range of processes such as group conferencing and peer mediation, whereby: conflict and harm are confronted and repaired; a future rather than past orientation is developed; relationships are built upon the values and attitudes of respect, inclusion and equality; pupils learn inter-personal and problem solving skill...

The history of an unnatural disaster—drug overdose—and the emergence of naloxone as a social and technological solution. For years, drug overdose was unmentionable in polite society. OD was understood to be something that took place in dark alleys—an ugly death awaiting social deviants—neither scientifically nor clinically interesting. But over the last several years, overdose prevention has become the unlikely object of a social movement, powered by the miracle drug naloxone. In OD, Nancy Campbell charts the emergence of naloxone as a technological fix for overdose and describes the remaking of overdose into an experience recognized as common, predictable, patterned—and, above all...

L’éveil du grand dieu Pan - Tome 1

Fraîchement installée à Sainte-Colombe, Natasha se rapproche d’Emmanuela, sa voisine, ignorant la vraie identité de celle-ci. En effet, en plus d’être douée pour les langues anciennes et les incantations vikings, Emmanuela est la descendante d’une Völva, une voyante et magicienne pratiquant d’antiques rituels scandinaves. Natasha survivra-t-elle aux véritables intentions de celle qu’elle considère comme une amie ? À PROPOS DE L'AUTRICE Fascinée par les auteurs de littérature horrifique et philosophique, Sarah Jessy Valdes cultive un profond intérêt pour les mystères qui entourent les forêts scandinaves. Dans le but de partager cette passion avec ses lecteurs, elle donne vie à "L’éveil du grand dieu Pan", le premier tome d’une saga qui explore les mystères de cette divinité grecque énigmatique.

When a man is found dead in an aster meadow near Northford, Saskatchewan, on a lovely fall day in 1975, Sergeant Arnold Powell is tasked with unravelling a puzzling case with entirely too many potential suspects. The dead man in question, Clayton Dalrymple—AKA Ivan Kalik, a corrupt KGB defector and generally unpleasant person all around—was not the town’s most popular citizen. The number of people who might have wanted him dead is extensive, and unfortunately for him, not offset by a list of anyone in particular who wanted him alive. And then there’s the question of how he died. The bullet wound in his temple and handgun at his side certainly suggest a suicide, but there are also str...

Extrait: Évidemment, personne n’aime se montrer prophète de malheur et prédire la catastrophe. C’est la psychologue qui prononce, à ma demande insistante, les mots terrifiants du diagnostic définitif: trouble primaire du langage affectant le langage expressif et réceptif, c’est-à-dire, une dysphasie. Mots dont je prends note d’une main tremblante sur mon petit carnet alors que Jean-Patrick s’empare rageusement du document officiel tendu par la directrice. Cette fois, nous demeurons silencieux. Tout à coup, tout devient vrai, réel, officiel. Notre fils souffre indubitablement, concrètement, officiellement d’un trouble de langage. Ce n’est pas le ciel qui nous tombe sur...

« Avec le recul qui vient de l'expérience, il aurait pu se dire que la passion qui l'animait était caractéristique d'un premier amour, et que ses sentiments finiraient par s'atténuer avec le temps. Mais tout ce qu'il savait à l'époque, c'est qu'à partir du moment où ses yeux s'étaient posés sur elle, il avait été incapable de penser à autre chose. » Passionnée par les chevaux, Sarah espère intégrer la prestigieuse école d'équitation du Cadre Noir. Elle s'entraîne sans relâche avec l'étalon que son grand-père lui a offert. Lorsque le vieil homme tombe malade, Sarah doit jongler entre sa famille d'accueil, le collège, l'équitation et les visites à l'hôpital. Natasha...
