ABSTRACT Using Respondent Driven Sampling, this study piloted an innovative research design mixing qualitative and quantitative data collection methods, and social network analysis, that addresses a gap in information on retail methamphetamine markets and the role of illicit drug markets in consumption. Based on a sample of 132 methamphetamine users, buyers and sellers in New York City (NYC), findings describe a bifurcated market defined by differences in sexual identity, drug use behaviors, social network characteristics, and drug market behaviors. The larger sub-market is a closed market related to a sexual network of men who have sex with men (MSM) where methamphetamine (referred to as “tina”) is used as a sex drug. The smaller submarket is a less-closed market not denominated by sexual identity where methamphetamine (referred to as “crank,” “speed,” or “crystal meth”) overlaps with powder and crack cocaine markets. Participants in the MSM submarket viewed “tina” as very different from cocaine, due to what they characterized as the drug’s intense sexual effects, whereas participants in the smaller non-sexual-identity-denominated submarket saw “crystal meth” as a cost-effective alternative to cocaine. While majorities of participants in all subpopulations studied reported that their use of methamphetamine primarily centered on sex, almost all (91%) MSM reported this. Many MSM reported that their sexuality had become indistinguishable from their drug use. MSM had denser patterns of social network ties and many more sex partners than other subpopulations. MSM market participants reported higher prices for the drug, which may be an indication that they are accessing purer forms of methamphetamine. Participants were more willing to discuss accessing or purchasing methamphetamine than they were to discuss providing or selling the drug, although all indications are that most market participants do both. Compared with the sometimes highly organized markets that have existed for other illegal drugs (e.g., heroin, cocaine, marijuana), retail methamphetamine markets have remained, by contrast, relatively primitive in their social and technical organization, and distinct patterns of drug use emerged as an outcome of interactions between drug providers and members of their social networks. In this case, those with less structurally advantageous positions within the network must depend on better-positioned network contacts to supply them with methamphetamine. Findings from the study indicate that Dynamics of retail methamphetamine markets in New York City i This document is a research report submitted to the U.S. Department of Justice. This report has not been published by the Department. Opinions or points of view expressed are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the official position or policies of the U.S. Department of Justice. the most striking characteristic of the methamphetamine market in New York City is the extent of the secondary market. Study data suggests this large secondary market has developed because of “bottlenecks” in the chain of distribution, which may be the outcome of the inconsistent supply of methamphetamine available in New York City. Participants reported essentially no violence in connection with methamphetamine markets in NYC. Participants have a lifetime total of 13 methamphetamine possession arrests for the sample of 132; none has ever been arrested for methamphetamine distribution. Study findings may be useful to practitioners, policy-makers and researchers in fields including law enforcement, criminal justice, and public health and substance abuse treatment.

Battle and Self-Sacrifice in a Bengali Warrior’s Epic: Lausen’s Quest to be a Raja in Dharma Ma2gal* INTRODUCTION Plots and Themes harma Ma2gal are long, narrative Bengali poems that explain and justify the worship of Lord Dharma as the D eternal, formless, and supreme god. Surviving texts were written between the mid-seventeenth and the mid-eighteenth centuries. By examining the plots of Dharma Ma2gal, I hope to describe features of a precolonial Bengali warriors” culture. I argue that Dharma Ma2gal texts describe the career of a hero and raja, and that their narratives seem to be designed both to inculcate a version of warrior culture in Bengal, and to contain it by requiring self-sacrifice in both battle and “truth ordeals.” Dharma Ma2gal *I thank Ralph W.

  • War and Sacrifice in the Post-9/11 Era
    Social & Demographic Trends October 5, 2011 The Military-Civilian Gap War and Sacrifice in the Post-9/11 Era FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, CONTACT Pew Social & Demographic Trends Tel (202) 419-4372 1615 L St., N.W., Suite 700 Washington, D.C. 20036 www.pewsocialtrends.org PREFACE America’s post-9/11 wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are unique. Never before has this nation been engaged in conflicts for so long. And never before has it waged sustained warfare with so small a share of its population carrying the fight. This report sets out to explore a series of questions that arise from these historical anomalies. It does so on the strength of two nationwide surveys the Pew Research Center conducted in the late summer of 2011, as the 10th anniversary of the start of the war in Afghanistan approached. One survey was conducted among a nationally representative sample of 1,853 military veterans, including 712 who served on active duty in the period after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The other was among a nationally representative sample of 2,003 American adults. The report compares and contrasts the attitudes of post-9/11 veterans, pre-9/11 veterans and the general public on a wide range of matters, including sacrifice; burden sharing; patriotism; the worth of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq; the efficiency of the military and the effectiveness of modern military tactics; the best way to fight terrorism; the desirability of a return of the military draft; the nature of America’s place in the world; and the gaps in understanding between the military and civilians.

  • Honour Killing in Sindh Men's and Women's Divergent Accounts
    Honour Killing in Sindh Men's and Women's Divergent Accounts Shahnaz Begum Laghari PhD University of York Women’s Studies March 2016 Abstract The aim of this project is to investigate the phenomenon of honour-related violence, the most extreme form of which is honour killing. The research was conducted in Sindh (one of the four provinces of Pakistan). The main research question is, ‘Are these killings for honour?’ This study was inspired by a need to investigate whether the practice of honour killing in Sindh is still guided by the norm of honour or whether other elements have come to the fore. It is comprised of the experiences of those involved in honour killings through informal, semi- structured, open-ended, in-depth interviews, conducted under the framework of the qualitative method. The aim of my thesis is to apply a feminist perspective in interpreting the data to explore the tradition of honour killing and to let the versions of the affected people be heard. In my research, the women who are accused as karis, having very little redress, are uncertain about their lives; they speak and reveal the motives behind the allegations and killings in the name of honour. The male killers, whom I met inside and outside the jails, justify their act of killing in the name of honour, culture, tradition and religion. Drawing upon interviews with thirteen women and thirteen men, I explore and interpret the data to reveal their childhood, educational, financial and social conditions and the impacts of these on their lives, thoughts and actions.

  • Coronavirus Lockdown Is a Living Hell
    Anonymous 1 Anonymous Sydney Brown English 120 4 April 2010 Coronavirus Lockdown Is a Living Hell As residents of Wuhan, China, my family and I are living in hell. The city has been locked down for more than a month. Every night before falling asleep I have been confronted by an unreal feeling and many questions: I know that coronavirus is the reason for the lockdown, but did life in Wuhan have to become a living hell? Why were we notified about the city lockdown at 2 a.m. on the second to last morning before the Lunar New Year? Why have I not been given any instructions from a government officer about how to cope when an entire city is on lockdown? Why do I feel so afraid? I'm nearly 30 years old, and my family members and I have devoted ourselves to our jobs to build a better life and we have largely succeeded. There's only a little more to do before we reach the level of middle class. But along the way, things did not go exactly as I'd hoped. I have been working hard in school since I was small. My dream was to become a journalist, and I passed the test to enter the best school for journalism in China. After school, I learned that government supervision of the media meant that telling the truth was not an option, so I gave up my dream and turned to another career. I kept telling myself that my hard work would Anonymous 2 reward me in my personal life.

  • Action Within a Relationship: a Phenomenology of Sacrifice
    Sacrifice – Action within a Relationship: A Phenomenology of Sacrifice Claudia Mariéle Wulf 1 Introduction A young woman had become entangled in drug culture. Nothing had warned her about the consequences of drug abuse for the rest of her life, nor about the effects it was to have on her parents and younger sister. She had closed her- self off from her family and friends, so her mother had no longer any access to her. Her mother prayed. This, however, was not enough. Slowly but surely, the mother began to change. First, she stopped eating what she most enjoyed. It was a silent offering for her daughter, who failed to understand. Instead, the girl replied: “It doesn’t affect me whether you eat what you like or not!”. Then her mother started copying her daughter’s way of dressing. She roamed the streets in old and shabby shoes, she dyed her hair black like her daughter had done, something which was quite alien to herself. Initially, her daughter just laughed at her. Then she fell silent. She knew what it meant to her mother to be a laugh- ing stock for the people, because of her shoddy appearance. When she fully realized that her mother had made these sacrifices in order to show her how close she was to her, her mother’s love touched her and she returned home. Is this the sort of sacrifice we are talking about here? Does sacrifice mean giving up yourself in order to save somebody else? Does it mean offering your- self as a sacrifice to God? Does God want – or even ask for – such sacrifice? The example shows that in order to be meaningful, a sacrifice has to be related to someone: To God, or to another human being.
