  • Families and Incarceration
    The author(s) shown below used Federal funds provided by the U.S. Department of Justice and prepared the following final report: Document Title: Families and Incarceration Author(s): Donald Braman Document No.: 202981 Date Received: 11/21/2003 Award Number: 98-CE-VX-0012 This report has not been published by the U.S. Department of Justice. To provide better customer service, NCJRS has made this Federally- funded grant final report available electronically in addition to traditional paper copies. 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. Abstract Families and Incarceration Donald Braman 2002 This dissertation describes findings from a three-year ethnographic study of male incarceration’s effect on family life in the District of Columbia. The central finding of the study is that the dramatic increase in the use of incarceration over the last two decades has in many ways missed its mark, often injuring the families of offenders as much as, and sometimes more than, offenders themselves. The effects of incarceration on families include practical hardships related to incarceration such as lost income and childcare, legal costs, and telephone expenses. Because prisoners are prevented from reciprocating, their families are not only materially impoverished, but the relationships within the extended kinship networks are eroded. Incarceration also forcibly restructures household composition, reshaping family life in ways that are entirely absent from policy debates. In addition to the direct effect of incarceration on gender ratios and father absence, incarceration also has more subtle effects on gender norms, encouraging behavior that is consistent with many of the common stereotypes of poor, black, inner-city families.

HC Not Available from EDRS. DESCRIPTORS *Drug Abuse; *Drug Education; Field Interviews; High School Students; *Program Evaluation; *Student Attitudes; *Student Research; Surveys ABSTRACT This report represents the findings obtained from investigations conducted by nine student researchgroups based in high school s in each geographical region of the UnitedStates. Each research group conducted three-month studies of the drug education programs and formulated recommendations for program modifications and new approaches. Major issues for fact finding included:(1) the incidence of drug abuse among high school students; (2) student attitudes on drug use and abuse;(3) the nature of existing drug education programs; (4) the effectiveness of those programs; and (5) students' perceptions of their drug education needs. The groups' research findings indicate widespread usage and availability of illicit drugs, failure of existing drug educationprograms to affect student drug usage, and the need for involvement of the community-at-large. The students repeatedly criticized the prevalence of a subject-matter orientation to school drugprograms, instead suggesting the need for a personal-problemsor social-problems orientation. Included in the report isa discussion of the limitations and weaknesses of this student project.

  • Date Rape Cases Among Young Women and the Development of Good Practices for Support and Prevention
    Date Rape Cases Among Young Women and the Development of Good Practices for Support and Prevention funded by the Daphne II Programme of the European Commission Institute of Forensic Studies University of Malta Frances Camilleri-Cassar and Jacqueline Azzopardi Country Research Report MALTA 1 Abstract The Institute of Forensic Studies University of Malta is participating in a transnational study entitled “Date Rape Cases Among Young Women and the Development of Good Practices for Support and Prevention”, funded by the Daphne II Programme, of the European Commission and co-ordinated by the Mediterranean Institute of Gender Studies, University of Nicosia, Cyprus. The project involves five countries of the European Union including Cyprus, Greece, Latvia, Lithuania and Malta. Project partners are the Institute of Equality in Greece, Coalition for Gender Equality in Latvia, Women Issues Information Center in Lithuania, the Institute of Forensic Studies in Malta and the Mediterranean Institute for Gender Studies in Cyprus who are also the project co-ordinators and lead partners. The main aim of the project is to investigate the incidence of date rape among female college students (aged 18-24) in the partner countries and assess the attitude, and level of awareness among beneficiaries and target groups. The project aims to promote awareness and make policy recommendations for prevention of date rape and support to victims. The study adopts both a quantitative and qualitative approach: 150 women currently registered students at the University of Malta responded to an anonymous questionnaire; there were 2 focus groups with the participation of 20 female studens; and, 3 in-depth interviews with relevant institutional representatives: the Malta Police, Agenzija Appogg which falls under the Ministry for the Family and Social Solidarity and Merhba Bik which is a shelter for battered women and their children.

    Voices of mothers with empty arms: Separation and reunification issues experienced by mothers with alcohol and other substance use issues I cannot believe, that they can go in with an apprehension warrant and leave a parent sitting there with empty arms and a piece of paper saying ‘we apprehended your children’ That’s why I really want to do this interview, because things need to change big time.

  • Women on the Edge
    Article Contemporary Drug Problems 2017, Vol. 44(4) 301-320 ª The Author(s) 2017 Women on the Edge: Opioids, Reprints and permission: sagepub.com/journalsPermissions.nav DOI: 10.1177/0091450917740359 Benzodiazepines, and the Social journals.sagepub.com/home/cdx Anxieties Surrounding Women’s Reproduction in the U.S. “Opioid Epidemic” Kelly R. Knight1 Abstract The current “opioid epidemic” provides an opportunity to identify age-old social anxieties about drug use while opening up new lines of inquiry about how and why drug use epidemics become gendered. This paper reflects on the intertwined phenomena of opioid and benzodiazepine prescribing to U.S. women to examine how gender, race, and class inform social anxieties about reproduction and par- enting. Multiple discourses abound about the relationship between women and the “opioid epidemic.” Epidemiological reports attribute premature death among White women to the deadly combination of opioids and antianxiety medications. The National Institute on Drug Abuse reports that “every 25 minutes a baby is born suffering from opioid withdrawal,” leading to costly hospital stays for infants and the potential for mother–child separation and other forms of family adjudication postpartum. Primary care providers are reluctant to distinguish diagnoses of chronic noncancer pain from anxiety among their female patients. Taken together, these discourses beg the question: What exactly are we worried about? I compare and contrast the narratives of two anxious women on opioids to raise larger structural questions about pregnancy, parenting, and drug use and to interrogate the public narrative that women on opioids threaten the American family and thwart the American Dream.
