The collection is primarily intended to aid in the design of public education programs by making available materials produced for previous campaigns. We encourage those about to embark on a new program to use this unique Center to see what other organizations have created. Use of the collection should help prevent errors made in the past and also encourage more widespread use of innovative and effective ideas. Users are encouraged to contribute materials to this collection and to refer others to us. This collection serves also as a general resource in the highway safety/public information area. Materials available for loan include those produced for public information campaigns as well as research reports, evaluative and survey reports, and journal articles. i iii INTRODUCTION 1.

    THE PHENOMENON OF GAINING SOBRIETY THROUGH MEMBERSHIP IN ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS TOM A. SAMUEL B. Ed .. University of Alberta. 1973 O. H. S. A., University of Alberta, 1984 Submitted to the faculty of Education or the University of Lethbridge in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Degree MASTER OF EDUCATIO~ LETHBRIDGE, ALBERTA March 2007 Dedication "These are not my people, no, no! These are not my people, And it looks like the end, my friend." -Joe South, 1960s This manuscript is dedicated to the "army of people that it took to sober me up."-to the front line "soldiers": Nic, Evelyn, Theresa, my unofficial sponsor, Dr. Don M., and my best friend of thirty-six years, Beth. To the current mainstays of my sobriety, "Bill" and "Bob", whose stories express so much that I cannot. It is dedicated to all the soldiers in all the armies of sobriety. 111 Abstract This project is devoted to explaining the phenomenon of gaining sobriety through membership in Alcoholics Anonymous. While there are many ways in which a person can achieve freedom from an alcohol addiction, by far the predominant tool in North American society is Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Historically the alcoholism treatment system and AA developed simultaneous and symbiotically. In other parts of the world AA came later, and is being viewed suspiciously by some, antagonistically by others and cooperatively by many. AA is growing exponentially in Europe and Asia and continues to grow significantly in North America. AA would not be what it is today without the alcoholism treatment industry, and the alcoholism treatment industry would not be the same without AA's influence.

BOX 687 JEFFERSON CITY, MISSOURI 65102 (314) 751-4122 June 1988 Dear ARTOP Administrators, Professionals, and Instructors: The Missouri Legislature enacted a law in 1982 establishing educational programs for drinking and driving offenses. At that time the Governor mandated that the Department of Mental Health develop standards for the operation of Alcohol or Drug Related Traffic Offenders' Programs (ARTOPs). Based upon these standards, the original ARTOP Curriculum Guide was developed in 1984. The laws concerning drinking and driving have been changed twice since the original guide; once in 1984 with the addition of Administrative Revocation and again in 1987 with the "Abuse and Lose" law. The following is a second edition of the ARTOP Curriculum Guide. This Guide was developed in consultation with a task force of the largest ARTOP providers and reflects changes in statutes, program standards, and knowledge gained since the first edition in 1984. The choice of binding was made to facilitate easy insertion of additional material or any future revisions that may be made. The Division hopes that this Curriculum Guide will prove to be an easy document to use and welcomes your suggestions.

Task Force Report ALCOHOL AND THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM June 1969 NCJRS JUL 30 1980 ACQUIS'ITlONS PENNSYLVANIA CRIME COMM1SSION Office of the Attorney General Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Just listen to the law-enforcement people across our land. They will tell you that the real problem with fighting crime today is that all Americans have not been sufficiently aroused to win the war against the criminals. There must be an informed public with the courage to help our dedicated men in the police, courts, and corrections. Governor Raymond P. Shafer February 8, 1968 FOREWORD This report, "Alcohol and the Criminal Justice System;', has been prepared by the Pennsylvania Crime Commission in order to present the impact of the use of alcohol on Pennsylvania's criminal justice system. The Pennsylvania Crime Commission was originally established by an Executive Order of Governor Shafer on March 27, 1967. This Commission consisted of 20 outstanding Pennsylvanians appointed by the Governor. Attorney General William C. Sennett was designated as Chairman. The Commission was charged with inquiring into the causes of crime and delinquency in Pennsylvania and into the adequacy of law enforcement and the administration ofjustice; and with making such studies and conduct­ ing such hearings as would be appropriate for accomplishing this purpose. In addition, the Commission was empowered to make recommendations for actions which would improve the criminal justice system of Pennsylvania. Finally, the Commission was charged with submitting a report to the Governor regarding its findings. Upon submission of this report , the Com­ mission would be dissolved.

The Award for Excellence called for papers addressing the special challenges of providing quality treatment services to substance abusers in rural and frontier areas. Papers were particularly solicited in the following areas: Experiences, ideas, practical measures, and recommended actions for implementing health care reform initiatives in rural areas (such as regional cross-State provider arrangements) Innovative strategies, policies, and programs for improving the delivery of substance abuse, health, and public health services in rural and frontier areas Proposals for political and economic solutions that would expand the development of services in rural/frontier areas Strategies for building rural coalitions and networks Approaches for special issues related to substance abuse, such as rural crime, gangs, and violence, including family violence Research studies and needs assessment data showing the prevalence of AOD abuse problems in rural and/or frontier settings, as well as their effects on rural crime, family life, and social, cultural, and economic conditions Cost-benefit analyses showing the impact at the Federal and State levels from resolving substance abuse and public health needs of rural and frontier communities The papers presented here are a remarkable portrait not only of the daunting AOD problems that face rural and frontier America but, more importantly, of the viable approaches to those problems that are being created in rural and frontier areas.

Homeiessness, Research Traditions Alcohol, and Other and Policy Drug Abuse Responses Gerald R. Garrett Although homeless alcoholics and other drug abusers more often elicit public scorn than sympathy, ironically they enjoy a celebrity status as research subjects. This article provides an overview of research literature on the homeless and their alcohol and drug problems. The evolution ofpublic policies concerning control, rehabilitation, and treat- ment of homeless substance abusers is also traced with special attention to the interac- tion between scientific literature and policy responses over the past century. Although homeless populations today are more diverse than their counterparts in earlier decades, the analysis suggests that the policies and programs developed in response to the crisis of homeiessness and substance abuse in the 1980s and 1990s reflect themes that are also evident in early literature.

  • The Mary Tyler Moore Show" 10 8
    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “ Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page{s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in die adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in “sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right .in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • LEGISLATIVE STRATEGIES and the PREVENTION of ALCOHOL PROBLEMS Robin Room
    LEGISLATIVE STRATEGIES AND THE PREVENTION OF ALCOHOL PROBLEMS Robin Room (pp. 152-164 in: Marcus Grant and Bruce Ritson, eds., Alcohol: The Prevention Debate. London: Croom Helm, 1983) For some years now, I have been working alongside a legal scholar, Jim Mosher, as he explores the interaction of alcohol issues with legal questions, and in particular the potential of legislative and regulatory strategies for the prevention of alcohol-related problems. As Jim's tasks and work have gradually unfolded, what has struck me most forcibly is the astonishing diversity of ways in which laws, regulations, and their adminstration can end up impinging on alcohol consumption and consequent problems. Obscure "tax-shelter" provisions in an income-tax code can fuel the transformation of a large grape industry from raisin and table grape to wine grape production. Fear of legal liability can shut down a college student government's effort to prevent drunk driving by providing bus-service to the border of an adjacent state with a lower minimum drinking age. Changes in mental hospital involuntary- commitment procedures, combined with alterations in state fiscal incentives for local government, can result in the disappearance of "alcoholic psychosis" as a medical category. These examples, all from the United States, can be multiplied in every country. In a real sense, nearly every prevention strategy considered in the debates in this book is a legislative strategy: typically, alcohol education in the schools, alcohol tax levels, and environmental controls are all shaped by legislation and regulation. We shall concentrate here, though, on a relatively small range of potential legislative strategies to reduce alcohol-related problems: those which seek to limit or shape the individual's drinking and/or behaviors associated with the drinking, either directly by influencing the individual drinker or indirectly by influencing those around the drinker.

  • THE ANATOMY of a *DUI-OWI CASE © by Michael J
    THE ANATOMY OF A *DUI-OWI CASE © By Michael J. (Mike) Nichols ARREST You awake in the drunk tank. Your head hurts. You didn’t sleep at all. Now what? The first thing to understand is that you are experiencing many emotions and will continue to feel those for a long time regardless of whether this is your first arrest until well after this matter is resolved. The officer’s investigation is targeted at trying to convince you that you are guilty. You are not guilty until and unless 1 of 3 things occurs: 1) the jury convicts you; 2) the judge convicts you or 3) you plead guilty/no contest. You are presumed innocent and you should maintain that plea of not guilty until and unless you are able to negotiate a result in the case that you can live with in exchange for giving up your right to a trial. If you are reading this shortly after you were arrested, the best thing that you can do to help yourself is to retrace your steps on the day of your arrest. Everything that you did, including what you had to eat, any unusual activities in which you engaged, how much you drank if anything and what medicines that you ingested for starters: all of this information may create a trail of breadcrumbs to a defense for you when there seems to be only a path to a guilty plea. If you decide to look for a lawyer to represent you, make sure that DUI-OWI defense is a major portion if not THE major portion of his or her practice.
