Taylor & Francis Ltd (Sales) Law Drugs and the Making of Addiction Just Habits
Book SynopsisThis book considers how largely accepted âlegal truthsâ about drugs and addiction are made and sustained through practices of lawyering.Lawyers play a vital and largely underappreciated role in constituting legal certainties about substances and âaddictionâ, including links between alcohol and other drugs, and phenomena such as family violence. Such practices exacerbate, sustain and stabilise âaddictedâ realities, with a range of implications â many of them seemingly unjust â for people who use alcohol and other drugs. This book explores these issues, drawing upon data collected for a major international study on alcohol and other drugs in the law, including interviews with lawyers, magistrates and judges; analyses of case law; and legislation. Focussing on an array of legal practices, including processes of law-making, human rights deliberations, advocacy and negotiation strategies, and the sentencing of offenders, and buttressed by overarching analyses of the ethics and politics of such practices, the book looks at how alcohol and other drug âaddictionâ emerges and is concretised through the everyday work lawyers and decision makers do. Foregrounding âpracticesâ, the book also shows that law is more fragile than we might assume. It concludes by presenting a blueprint for how lawyers can rethink their advocacy practices in light of this fragility and the opportunities it presents for remaking law and the subjects and objects shaped by it.This ground-breaking book will be of interest not only to those studying and working within the field of alcohol and drug addiction but also to lawyers and judges practising in this area and to scholars in a range of disciplines, including law, science and technology studies, sociology, gender studies and cultural studiesTable of ContentsTable of contentsAcknowledgmentsIntroduction: Slowing down.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Contemporary Social Problems in the UK
Book SynopsisSocial problems are endemic to all societies. The UK is no exception and is grappling with a plethora of issues including poverty, family breakdown, domestic violence, teenage pregnancy, child abuse and neglect, youth offending, alcohol and drug misuse, mental health issues, homelessness, and ethnic and religious discrimination. These problems have huge implications for the individual, the family unit and society at large and take their toll on health, wellbeing, and community resources. They place an enormous amount of strain on government finances and the welfare state, and add to the burden on social institutions, such as the National Health Service and the social work and criminal justice systems. Contemporary Social Problems in the UK explores a wide range of social problems in the UK. Each social problem has been explored using a range of psychosocial theories to generate an understanding of various causal factors and to examine the linkages between differTrade Review"It is essential that as the World moves through the various phases of the COVID-19 pandemic that we do not lose sight of the intransigent problems that plague modern society. Contemporary Social Problems in the UK returns our attention to many of the issues that intersect communities with traumatic consequences. In this exciting new book, Dr Stanley has brought together several respected academics and practitioners who draw our attention to the theories, models and research that underpin debates concerning social problems. It also highlights the way these issues transcend political and administrative boundaries across health, social care, social security, housing, employment, and criminal justice. Contemporary Social Problems in the UK provides essential reading for students and practitioners involved in social care, health, and criminal justice. As well as providing examples of ‘real world’ applications for students of Sociology, Psychology, and behavioural sciences." Tony Gilbert, Associate Professor in the School of Health Professions, University of Plymouth, UK"This text approaches a range of contemporary social issues and considers these within a number of frameworks where their differing manifestations are articulated, debated and contextualised against the backdrop of extant theoretical approaches and practice-based interventions. The text will be of value to both students and professionals across a range of disciplines." Steve J. Hothersall, Head of Social Work, Mental Health and Learning Disability Education and Practice, Edge Hill University, UK"Social Problems in the UK are of growing concern not only for academics, policy makers and social practitioners but also the general population. This new edited book from Selwyn Stanley takes the reader through contemporary social issues and illustrates a range of debates and theoretical concepts. For the social sciences this is a must read for students of all levels, academics, and researchers."Martin Partridge, Senior Lecturer and Programme Lead for BA Social Care and Health, University of Wolverhampton, UK"This book provides a comprehensive overview of contemporary social problems in areas that can often be overlooked in compact curricula, for example, substance misuse and homelessness. As such, this book is useful for modules in undergraduate and post graduate studies that explore sociology, criminology, applied social work practice and contemporary society. A useful text for the student on a range of important topics." Karen D. Roscoe, Assistant Professor in Social Work, Coventry University, UK"A vital new text outlining a broad range of overlapping social problems in contemporary UK society. This will be an incredibly useful text across the wide range of social policy professions, in education, health, social work and youth work; for social science students, as well as the general reader"Richard Twine, Senior Lecturer in Social Sciences, Edge Hill University, UKTable of Contents1.
