Nadelmann, E. A. (1990). Global prohibition regimes : the evolution of norms in international society. International organization, 44(4; 09/1990), 479–526.
Abstract: The dynamics by which norms emerge and spread in international society have been the subject of strikingly little study. This article focuses on norms that prohibit, both in international law and in the domestic criminal laws of states, the involvement of state and nonstate actors in activities such as piracy, slavery, counterfeiting, drug trafficking, the hijacking of aircraft, and the killing of endangered animal species. It analyzes the manner in which these norms have evolved into and been institutionalized by global prohibition regimes and argues that there are two principal inducements to the formation and promotion of such regimes. The first is the inadequacy of unilateral and bilateral law enforcement measures in the face of criminal activities that transcend national borders. The second is the role of moral and emotional factors related to neither political nor economic advantage but instead involving religious beliefs, humanitarian sentiments, fears, prejudices, paternalism, faith in universalism, the individual conscience, and the compulsion to proselytize. The ultimate success or failure of an international regime in effectively suppressing a particular activity depends, however, not only on the degree of commitment to its norms or the extent of resources devoted to carrying out its goals but also on the vulnerability of the activity to its enforcement measures.

Ross, M. W., Wodak, A., Stowe, A., & Gold, J. (1994). Explanations for sharing injection equipment in injecting drug users and barriers to safer drug use. Addiction, 89, 473–479.
Abstract: We examined the explanations given by a sample of 1245 injecting drug users in Sydney, Australia for accepting used injection equipment. Factor analysis of these reasons revealed three dimensions of sharing: not caring when withdrawing or intoxicated, unavailability of equipment, and not seeing it as high risk or ease of injecting. The most common reasons given were difficulty in obtaining sterile equipment (73% of cases), the dangers not seeming so important when in withdrawal (40%) and sharing being something done with friends or lovers (31%). Most common reasons for not sharing were related to health issues (91% citing AIDS and 67% hepatitis). These data suggest that interventions target provision of sterile equipment, and education which highlights risk situations such as intoxication and withdrawal.

Zenker, C. (2005). Sucht und Gender. Bundesgesundheitsblatt, Gesundheitsforschung, Gesundheitsschutz, 48(4; 04/2005), 469–476.
Abstract: In der Übersichtsarbeit werden die politischen Hintergründe des Gender Mainstreamings sowie wissenschaftliche geschlechtsspezifische Erkenntnisse zur Gesundheit und Sucht vorgestellt. Neben epidemiologischen Daten zum Drogenkonsum und zu den Konsummitteln, zur Abhängigkeit und Mortalität, sind dieses auch frauen- und männerspezifische Besonderheiten bei den Ursachen von Sucht, bei der Suchtmittelwahl sowie bei den Suchtverläufen und -folgen. Der Genderaspekt beim Konsumverhalten Jugendlicher, bei komorbiden Störungen, bei der Prävention und den therapeutischen Interventionen wird hervorgehoben. Es werden die Schritte zur Umsetzung von Gender Mainstreaming in der Suchtarbeit über notwendige Qualifizierungen, den Ausbau von Kooperationen und den Ausgleich bestehender Defizite sowie unter den Aspekten der Differenzierung und Gemeinsamkeiten der Geschlechter diskutiert.

Rhodes, T., & Hedrich, D. (2010). Harm reduction : evidence, impacts and challenges. Monographs, 10. Luxembourg: Office for Official Publications of the European Communities.
Abstract: The EMCDDA’s 10th scientific monograph, entitled Harm reduction: evidence, impacts and challenges provides a comprehensive overview of the harm reduction field. Part I of the monograph looks back at the emergence of harm reduction approaches and their diffusion, and explores the concept from different perspectives, including international organisations, academic researchers and drug users. Part II is dedicated to current evidence and impacts of harm reduction and illustrates how the concept has broadened to cover a wide range of behaviours and harms. Part III addresses the current challenges and innovations in the field. The core audience of the monograph comprises policymakers, healthcare professionals working with drug users, as well as the wider interested public.

De Leon, G. (2000). The therapeutic community : theory, model, and method. New York: Springer Publishing Company.
Abstract: This volume provides a comprehensive review of the essentials of the Therapeutic Community (TC) theory and its practical “whole person” approach to the treatment of substance abuse disorders and related problems. Part 1 outlines the perspective of the traditional views of the substance abuse disorder, the substance abuser, and the basic components of this approach. Part II explains the organizational structure of the TC, its work components, and the role of residents and staff. The chapters in Part III describe the essential activities of TC life that relate most directly to the recovery process and the goals of rehabilitation. The final part outlines how individuals change in the TC behaviorally, cognitively, and emotionally. It is an invaluable resource for all addictions professionals and students. The book describes the contemporary therapeutic community (TC) for addictions as a hybrid, a union of self-help and public support. It is an experiment in progress, reconfiguring the vital healing and teaching ingredients of self-help communities into a systematic methodology for transforming lives. The book’s 25 chapters include data concerning: (1) evolution of the TC and the need for theory; (2) biomedical concepts and the TC perspective; (3) view of the person; (4) physical environment, social organization, work, staff and peers in the TC; (5) program stages; (6) TC models, including privileges and sanctions, surveillance and security, community meetings and the encounter group; (7) individual change, including behaviors, cognitions, emotions, essential experiences and essential perceptions; (8) participation in the change process; (9) internalization and identity; (10) a conceptual framework of the treatment process; and (11) the challenge of evolution in therapeutic communities, including general guidelines for adaptations and modifications.
