Drug Law Enforcement, Policing and Harm Reduction
The policing of drugs is an intriguing, complex, and contentious domain that brings into sharp focus the multifaceted nature of the police role and has farreaching consequences for health, crime, and justice. While research on drugs policing has historically been surprisingly sparse, fragmented, and underdeveloped, the field has recently become a burgeoning area of academic study, influenced by contemporary trends in policing practices, changes in drug policy, and wider social movements. This book makes a much-needed interdisciplinary and international contribution that engages with established and emerging areas of scholarship, advances cutting-edge debates, and sets an agenda for future di...
Routledge International Handbook of Police Ethnography
Ethnography has a long history in the humanities and social sciences and has provided the base line in the field of police studies for over 60 years. We have recently witnessed a resurgence in ethnographic practice among police scholars, and this Handbook is a response to that revival. Students and academics are returning to the ethnography arena and the study of police in situ to explain the evocative worlds of the police. The list of ethnographic sites is vast and all have fed the rejuvenation of ethnographic endeavour. Together they suggest innovation, theoretical depth, broad geographical boundaries, multi-site experiments, and multi-disciplinarity, all of which are central to the explor...

Byen og rusmidlerne
Et glas vin på fortovscaféen, en joint i parken, en ecstasypille på diskoteket eller et skud heroin i baggården. Det sociale liv i byen er ofte forbundet med brug af rusmidler. Nogle steder er indtagelse af rusmidler endda definerende for den gode oplevelse af byrummet i bestemte tidsrum, som når store mængder alkohol indtages i weekendens nattetimer i centrum af store og mellemstore danske byer. Men når nattelivet gør tilværelsen svær for beboerne, eller når der foregår åben indtagelse og salg af illegale stoffer, så giver brug af rusmidler også anledning til konflikter og kampe om byens rum. Legale og illegale rusmidler og indtagelse af dem er derfor også årsagen til, at livet i byen bliver reguleret. Byen og rusmidlerne. Oplevelser, konflikter og regulering sætter fokus på, hvordan byen og rusmidlerne på forskellig vis er vævet sammen. Bogens syv bidrag undersøger, hvordan forskellige grupper af rusmiddelbrugere og andre mennesker i byen oplever og forholder sig til hinanden, og hvordan byen som både politisk, social og fysisk ramme har betydning for vores håndtering af rusmiddelrelaterede problemstillinger.
Rusmiddelbrugere
Stofbruger, kontanthjælpsmodtager og psykiatrisk patient. Borgere med en af disse komplekse problemstillinger kan få hjælp fra det danske velfærdssystem. Men de bureaukratiske udfordringer står nærmest i kø for borgere med alle tre problemer på samme tid. For er det misbrugscenteret, kommunen eller sundhedssystemet, der skal tage hånd om den arbejdsløse stofbruger med en diagnosticeret psykose. Eller er det alle tre instanser – og måske endda samtidigt? Rusmiddelbrugere i krydsfeltet mellem sektorer og fagligheder undersøger i otte bidrag både de udfordringer, dilemmaer og muligheder, som myndigheder og private aktører må forholde sig til i mødet med rusmiddelbrugere, og vi...
Bourdieu in the City
Building on three decades of comparative research on marginality, ethnicity, and penality in the postindustrial metropolis, Loïc Wacquant offers a novel interpretation of Pierre Bourdieu as urban theorist. He invites us to explore the city through what he calls the trialectic of symbolic space (the mental categories through which we perceive and organize the world), social space (the distribution of capital in its different forms), and physical space (the built environment). On this reading, Bourdieu's topological sociology gives us the tools both to energize and also to challenge the canon of urban studies and to redraw their theoretical landscape. Compact and incisive, Bourdieu in the City will be of interest to students and scholars in sociology, anthropology, geography, urban studies, urban planning, architecture, and social theory.

Handbuch Kritisches Kartieren
Karten erzählen Geschichten und formen unser räumliches Verständnis von Welt. Sowohl das Lesen als auch das Erstellen von Karten bedeutet, die Welt auf eine bestimmte Weise zu erzeugen, zu beschreiben und wahrzunehmen. Dahingehend hinterfragen kritische Kartograph*innen die Macht der Karte und eignen sich die Praxis der Kartographie an. In über 20 Beiträgen stellen die Beiträger*innen des Handbuchs Kritisches Kartieren neue Methoden und theoretische Zugänge für kritische Kartierungen sozialer Wirklichkeiten vor und diskutieren Möglichkeiten einer anderen Kartographie für Forschung, Lehre und Aktivismus.
Order and Conflict in Public Space
Which public and whose space? The understanding of public space as an arena where individuals can claim full use and access hides a reality of constant negotiation, conflict and surveillance. This collection uses case studies concerning the management, use, and transgression of public space to invite reflection on the way in which everyday social interaction is framed and shaped by the physical environment and vice versa. International experts from fields including geography, criminology, sociology and urban studies come together to debate the concepts of order and conflict in public space. This book is divided into two parts: spaces of control, and spaces of transgression. Section I focuses...
