The committee was of enormous assistance in helping develop parameters for what is a potentially never-ending subject. Any errors in content are completely the fault of the writers. We thank, too, Ms Annie Madden, who offered a level of insight and thoughtfulness that allowed for wide-ranging and thought-provoking discussions as we tried to ‘tease out’ what was pivotal to ensuring that the document reflected our voice—the voice of the injecting drug user community. A report on stigma and discrimination towards the injecting drug user community v Background to this paper In 2009 AIVL received funding to commission market research with a view to determining the feasibility of developing a national campaign to redress the stigma and discrimination routinely faced by people who inject drugs. The primary objectives were to learn more about the perceptions of the general community—and some subsections of it, such as the medical profession—towards our community. This new information could then be used in determining how the community might respond to messages aimed at countering the misconceptions and prejudices associated with people who inject drugs. The market research report, published in 2010, was the catalyst for production of this document. The researchers found that stigma and discrimination associated with people who inject drugs are both institutionalised and pervasive. One of the most important findings was that the focus group participants—particularly the members of the general public—saw this stigma and discrimination as ‘good’ for the community as a whole. Further, participants believed stigmatising and discriminatory attitudes and actions would discourage people from taking up the practice of injecting drug use. These views were widely and strongly held, despite the wealth of research evidence highlighting the extremely harmful effects of stigma and discrimination on people who inject drugs and the lack of evidence to support discrimination as an effective deterrent to illicit drug use. The concerns raised by the market research prompted AIVL to seek further resources in order to investigate in greater depth some of the main findings before embarking on any public education campaign. In particular, we wanted to explore a range of questions from the perspective of people who inject drugs, to ask how current attitudes towards our community have developed over time and left us in a situation where we are almost universally categorised as social pariahs whose lives are of no value. We felt we needed to ‘look back’ and try to pinpoint the origins of many of these views before we could make any meaningful effort to ‘look forward’ and begin the process of challenging and changing the tired narratives that dominate injecting drug users’ lives. As a result, Chapter 2 of this document reviews the historical determinants of stigma and discrimination among people who inject drugs. It traces the history or ‘key points in time’ when attitudes towards the use of illicit drugs, the people who use them, or both, can be seen to emerge or change. As this theme develops, we increasingly focus on the question of injecting drug use, rather than broader developments in relation to all illicit drug use. Such an approach ensures that the document remains focused on the primary aim of reducing stigma and discrimination as they relate to blood-borne viruses such as hepatitis C by tackling what we believe is the main ‘driver’ of that discrimination—community attitudes towards injecting drug use and people who engage in this practice. It is difficult to single out one process or action, one definitive point in time, that can be characterised as ‘when the demonisation of people who inject drugs began’. What we have identified, however, is that the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century—a period of enormous social, cultural and economic upheaval—is one of those key points in time for tracing the development of contemporary attitudes vi ‘Why wouldn’t I discriminate against all of them?’ towards people who inject drugs. As part of understanding the impact of the Industrial Revolution, we look at a range of interrelated factors that, we argue, both directly and indirectly laid the foundations for the systematic marginalisation of people who injected drugs in the 20th century and those who do so now. Among those factors are the following: • the rapid growth of cities • the beginning of urban planning • the proliferation of factories • the development of statistics gathering and the process of ‘othering’ • the impact of immigration and the blending of new cultures, habits and practices • the rise of the medical profession and the changing status of doctors and apothecaries. This brief history of the significance of industrialism to current attitudes is further developed through an exploration of the roles of religion, trade, policy and law in shaping a deliberate process of pathologising and ‘diseasing’ people who inject drugs. Chapter 3 examines the emergence and growth of the temperance movement, the rise of organised religion and the Protestant ‘work ethic’, the Opium Wars, and the development of policy and legislation as a way to both ‘problematise’ and control the use of licit and illicit drugs. The rise of the counterculture revolution, the impact of the Vietnam War and the invention of the ‘war on drugs’ analogy by President Nixon in the 1960s and 1970s are also explored for their role in building a growing sense of fear and dislike of people who inject drugs. The chapter concludes with an analysis of several themes that feature strongly in narratives relating to people who inject drugs—the fear of contagion, needles and syringes as symbolic weapons, and the impact of mass communications on social attitudes. The final chapter offers an overview of stigma and discrimination as they are played out in contemporary society, including what it means to experience entrenched and widespread stigma and discrimination from the drug user’s perspective. A range of important social theories dealing with stigma and discrimination and injecting drug use are explored in order to link the findings arising from the AIVL-commissioned market research project with the available research and literature on this topic.

  • Just As the Priests Have Their Wives”: Priests and Concubines in England, 1375-1549
    “JUST AS THE PRIESTS HAVE THEIR WIVES”: PRIESTS AND CONCUBINES IN ENGLAND, 1375-1549 Janelle Werner A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by: Advisor: Professor Judith M. Bennett Reader: Professor Stanley Chojnacki Reader: Professor Barbara J. Harris Reader: Cynthia B. Herrup Reader: Brett Whalen © 2009 Janelle Werner ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT JANELLE WERNER: “Just As the Priests Have Their Wives”: Priests and Concubines in England, 1375-1549 (Under the direction of Judith M. Bennett) This project – the first in-depth analysis of clerical concubinage in medieval England – examines cultural perceptions of clerical sexual misbehavior as well as the lived experiences of priests, concubines, and their children. Although much has been written on the imposition of priestly celibacy during the Gregorian Reform and on its rejection during the Reformation, the history of clerical concubinage between these two watersheds has remained largely unstudied. My analysis is based primarily on archival records from Hereford, a diocese in the West Midlands that incorporated both English- and Welsh-speaking parishes and combines the quantitative analysis of documentary evidence with a close reading of pastoral and popular literature. Drawing on an episcopal visitation from 1397, the act books of the consistory court, and bishops’ registers, I argue that clerical concubinage occurred as frequently in England as elsewhere in late medieval Europe and that priests and their concubines were, to some extent, socially and culturally accepted in late medieval England.

  • Part 4: Justification: Children, Drug Use, and Dependence
    Part 4: Justification: Children, Drug Use, and Dependence Part 4 focuses on the policy justification of protecting people, especially children, from the harmful effects of drugs, including drug dependence. This premise is not challenged. Let us take it as read, and agreed by all, that it is not a good idea for children to use drugs, and that the use of drugs at an early age can be especially harmful— physically, socially, and psychologically.1 This is clear from a number of the chapters in this section. But policies aimed at dealing with this concern must be interrogated. Is the desire to protect children from drug use and dependence justification for the measures that have been adopted? And what does a closer look say about future strategies? In this section, five very different chapters ask searching questions of the policy responses that have been put in place to deal with drug use among children and young people, and of some of the assumptions underlying prevailing views of drugs, drug use, and dependence. The first chapter in this section is “Youth Drug-Use Research and the Missing Pieces in the Puzzle: How Can Researchers Support the Next Generation of Harm Reduction Approaches?” by Catherine Cook and Adam Fletcher. The chapter cuts to the root of this central justification for the war on drugs, challenging what we really know and do not know about drug use among young people.2 It explores the extent of our knowledge regarding drug use among young people around the world, concluding that far too little is known about emerging patterns of drug use in low- and middle-income countries, rendering the global picture incomplete.

  • Drug Education and Its Publics in 1980S Britain
    International Journal of Drug Policy 88 (2021) 103029 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect International Journal of Drug Policy journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/drugpo Policy Analysis Just say know: Drug education and its publics in 1980s Britain Alex Mold Centre for History in Public Health, London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, 15-17 Tavistock Place, London, WC1H 9SH, United Kingdom ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: Until the 1980s, anti-drug education campaigns in the UK were rare. This article examines the reasons behind a Heroin policy shift that led to the introduction of mass media drug education in the mid 1980s. It focuses on two Drug education campaigns. ‘Heroin Screws You Up’ ran in England, and ‘Choose Life Not Drugs’ ran in Scotland. The campaigns Health education were different in tone, with ‘Heroin Screws You Up’ making use of fear and ‘shock horror’ tactics, whereas History of drug use ‘Choose Life Not Drugs’ attempted to deliver a more positive health message. ‘Heroin Screws You Up’ was criticised by many experts for its stigmatising approach. ‘Choose Life Not Drugs’ was more favourably received, but both campaigns ran into difficulties with the wider public. The messages of these campaigns were appro­ priated and deliberately subverted by some audiences. This historical policy analysis points towards a complex and nuanced relationship between drug education campaigns and their audiences, which raises wider questions about health education and its ‘publics’. In April 1986, the cast of teen TV soap, Grange Hill, released a song wanted to be seen to take action on drugs, leading to the introduction of titled ‘Just say no’.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract The work presented in this thesis aimed to investigate the consequences and causes of ketamine abuse and compare them with the acute effects of the drug. Seven experimental chapters report the findings of a total of 9 studies: 5 with ketamine users, 3 administering ketamine to healthy volunteers and 1 with psychosis-prone individuals. Acute studies with volunteers demonstrated ketamine-induced impairments to item recognition, source memory, controlled semantic processing, working memory and procedural learning. There was also a suggestion of a disruption in self-monitoring but perceptual priming and executive functioning were largely preserved. Ketamine was subjectively reinforcing in healthy volunteers. Suggested chronic effects of ketamine in drug users included deficits in source memory and controlled semantic processing indicative of a degraded semantic store.

  • After the Law: the Phoenician Club, the Premier and the Death of Anna Wood
    1 After the Law: the Phoenician Club, the Premier and the death of Anna Wood. © Shane Homan 1998 Forthcoming in PERFECT BEAT. "Let us not, therefore, ask why certain people want to dominate, what they seek, what is their overall strategy. Let us ask, instead, how things work at the level of on-going subjugation, at the level of those continuous and un- interrupted processes which subject our bodies, govern our gestures, dictate our behaviours etc … we must attempt to study the myriad of bodies which are constituted as peripheral subjects as a result of the effects of power" (Foucault, 1980: 97-98). Introduction Since Howard Becker's (1963) examination of the jazz musician as `outsider', various studies have addressed popular music in relation to its governance. Adapting Becker's `moral entrepreneurs', the Birmingham School traditions of `cultural criminology' sought to unravel the procedural nature of a sociology of deviance (eg. Pearson, 1983; Young, 1971; Cohen, 1972; Frith, 1983) and produced vital examinations of the state's engagement with sport, music and drug subcultures. Building upon the cultural studies tradition, Cloonan (1996), Grossberg (1992), Clarke (1982), Chevigny (1991), Kenney (1993) and Redhead (1990, 1993, 1995) have provided useful analyses of governmental strategies designed to censure, ban or modify music practices. The methodological foundation for such studies was provided by Stanley Cohen's study of mods and rockers clashes in 1960s seaside Britain and the judicial and administrative responses to youth violence, amplified through dramatic media coverage and editorial sermonising. Cohen's now familiar concept of moral panic, in which "a condition, episode, person or group of persons emerges to become defined as a threat to societal values and interests" (1972: 9) remains a valuable theoretical notion in the intersection of law and popular culture.
