Alcohol Problems and Alcohol Control in Europe

Alcohol Problems and Alcohol Control in Europe

The nature of alcohol problems is very diverse and the strategies adopted for minimising these vary even more. Thinking in the study of alcohol problems in the 1970s and early 1980s had focused on the public health perspective seeking not only to lessen alcohol problems by controlling the availability of alcohol but also to promote moderate drinking practices and to preserve the positive advantages of alcohol use. Originally published in 1983 a detailed review of public health issues in this field at the time opens the book. This is followed by an examination of alcohol-related problems and policies for their control in sixteen different European countries. The chapters on individual countries provide a source of information and data on alcohol policies consumption and problems with which it is possible to examine from a cross-cultural and comparative basis the claims of a public health perspective. The final chapter draws together the cross-national data and discusses their implications for a public health response to alcohol problems. This book should now be a historical reference source for all interested in health policy in general and alcohol problems in particular. | Alcohol Problems and Alcohol Control in Europe

Alcohol and Aggression

Alcohol and Aggression

In the 1980s the relationship between alcohol and aggression and violence was a controversial one. Much of previous thinking had been based on anecdotal evidence. In contrast this book originally published in 1986 is based upon recent scientific evidence from a broad range of studies from animal experimentation to clinical and social research. The initial chapters describe what aggression is in terms of theories of animal behaviour how alcohol influences neural and endocrine functions and behaviour and how problematic it often is to extrapolate from animal research to humans. Later chapters give critical reviews of attempts to relate alcohol intake to violence and crime. The book represents a major synthesis of work from many disciplines and will interest workers in animal behaviour alcohol studies psychopharmacology and social psychology.

Economics and Alcohol Consumption and Controls

Economics and Alcohol Consumption and Controls

During the 1950s 1960s and 1970s general levels of alcohol consumption had risen considerably in all parts of the world. In association with this there was a proliferation of alcohol-related problems such as liver disease drunkenness offences marital disharmony and employment difficulties. Many factors influence the probability of alcohol addiction and the habits of drinking; they include age sex race occupation and income. Economic aspects of the use and misuse of alcohol had been attracting increasing attention during the early 1980s. Politicians and scholars alike had drawn attention to the benefits of a vigorous alcohol industry on the one hand and on the other the costs of providing medical social and educational services for those suffering from alcohol-related problems. Originally published in 1983 the real nature of the relationship between economics and alcohol is explored in detail for the first time in this book. It argues for increased participation by economists in the processes of social policy decision-making and considers the key issues of cost-benefit analyses control policies taxation and programme efficiency. No easy solutions are provided but a host of unjustified assumptions about this subject are clarified. This book paved the way for substantial future collaboration between economists and those involved in alcohol studies. | Economics and Alcohol Consumption and Controls

Alcohol: The Prevention Debate

Alcohol: The Prevention Debate

In the early 1980s emphasis had shifted from the treatment of alcohol problems to their prevention. Yet no clear integrated policy yet existed about how alcohol problems could best be prevented. Many different strategies were put forward as solutions but some were in competition with each other while some were actually incompatible. Originally published in 1983 what this book does is to draw together a cross section of these different and competing voices so as to give a sense of the quality and direction of the great alcohol debate at the time. After setting into context some of the basic questions to do with the prevention of alcohol problems the authors knit together and juxtapose short contributions from a very wide variety of experts from around the world. Clinicians educators sociologists advertisers marketing men economists philosophers geneticists and international civil servants present different points of view on health education the media advertising trade the law the environment and on the ethical basis of the debate itself. The authors bravely attempt to pull some general sense out of this profusion of what the way ahead is likely to be. It should be noted that this reissue very much reflects the context of the times in which it was written and that the contributors were participating in a debate where differences of opinion were actively encouraged. | Alcohol: The Prevention Debate

The Misuse of Alcohol Crucial Issues in Dependence Treatment and Prevention

The Misuse of Alcohol Crucial Issues in Dependence Treatment and Prevention

In the 1980s the study of alcoholism was in a period of rapid change this book originally published in 1985 identifies and explores the three most controversial contemporary issues: changes at the basic explanatory level in our concept of harmful drinking; the undermining of our confidence that drinking behaviour can be effectively modified in the traditional context of ‘treatment’; and the changes in our concept of the effective prevention of harmful drinking. The authors of the book came from a variety of backgrounds but all were members of the New Directions in the Study of Alcohol Group. They broadly reject the disease concept of alcoholism but as this volume shows there is still scope for vigorous debate and this book should have something of interest for all concerned with problems of alcoholism. | The Misuse of Alcohol Crucial Issues in Dependence Treatment and Prevention

Alcohol Youth and the State Drinking Practices Controls and Health Education

Alcohol Youth and the State Drinking Practices Controls and Health Education

In the early 1980s teenage drinking had become one of the many foci for expressions of concern about young peoples’ morals health and discipline. Yet we knew very little about how most young people drink – the qualitative aspects of youthful drinking. The research emphasis had hitherto been upon the level of drinking neglecting the social forms styles and associated meanings of specific drinking practices such as round-buying. Originally published in 1983 the core of this book reports upon an ethnographic study of the circumstances cultures and drinking practices of one particular stratum of youth. The service sector had become an increasingly important area of employment but little was known about service sector youth cultures. The author shows how mixed-sex round buying arises in such a culture and how it differs from the drinking practices of other groups. The study goes on to develop a general model for understanding drinking practices in diverse strata of youth and draws out implications for health and social education. Drink education is related to the increasingly important and contentious area of education about ‘working life’ and to sexual divisions in society. Introducing these sections is a review of the historical origins of concern about public drinking. Originating in yearly Vagrancy Acts and elaborated over 500 years the state’s policies about production distribution and consumption of alcohol are an integral part of its general economic and social policies and will continue to be framed by them. | Alcohol Youth and the State Drinking Practices Controls and Health Education

Helping the Problem Drinker New Initiatives in Community Care

Helping the Problem Drinker New Initiatives in Community Care

Originally published in 1987 Helping the Problem Drinker addressed the realisation that only a small proportion of problem drinkers ever contacted existing treatment agencies and that therefore a more comprehensive community-oriented approach should be developed. This included training of primary care health workers and the development of multidisciplinary Community Alcohol Teams. At the time other community-based initiatives such as self-help groups for early problem drinkers and early intervention programmes in general practice and general hospitals had been implemented. This book draws together what had been learned about these new developments a number of which had now been evaluated. The book will still be of interest to all planners and professional staff concerned with alcohol problems: both specialists and non-specialists in general medicine psychiatry psychology and the social services. | Helping the Problem Drinker New Initiatives in Community Care

Families without Fathers Fatherhood Marriage and Children in American Society

Families without Fathers Fatherhood Marriage and Children in American Society

The American family is changing. Divorce single parents and stepfamilies are redefi ning the ways we live together and raise our children. Many experts feel these seemingly inevitable changes should be celebrated; they claim that the new families which often lack a strong father are actually healthier than traditional two-parent families—or at the very least do children no harm. But as David Popenoe shows in Families Without Fathers this optimistic view is severely misguided. Examining evidence from social and behavioral science history and evolutionary biology Popenoe shows why fathers today are deserting their families in record numbers. The disintegration of the child-centered two parent family—especially in the inner cities where as many as two in three children are growing up without their fathers—and the weakening commitment of fathers to their children that more and more follows divorce are central causes of many of our worst individual and social problems. Juvenile delinquency drug and alcohol abuse teenage pregnancy welfare dependency and child poverty can be directly traced to fathers' lack of involvement in their children's lives. Our situation will only get worse Popenoe warns unless men are willing to renew their commitment to their marriages and to their children. Yet he is not just an alarmist. He suggests concrete policies and new ways of thinking and acting that will help all fathers improve their marriages and family lives and tells us what we as individuals and as a society can do to support and strengthen the most important thing a man can do. | Families without Fathers Fatherhood Marriage and Children in American Society

Women’s Criminalisation and Offending in Australia and New Zealand

Women’s Criminalisation and Offending in Australia and New Zealand offers new research and analysis of women’s offending and criminalisation in Australia and New Zealand from British settlement through to the late twentieth/early twenty-first centuries. Drawing attention to women as offenders as understood in a multitude of ways this collection highlights how women have been involved with crime and criminal behaviour their treatment inside and outside of courts and prisons and how women’s deviation from societal norms have attracted negative attention throughout the decades. For Aboriginal and Māori women especially the responses were harsher than what they could be for non-indigenous women. The chapters cover a broad range of transgressions that women have been actively involved with including theft drug and alcohol abuse and offences organised crime and homicide as well as how women’s behaviour and their bodies have been criminalised and responded to by authorities. What this collection demonstrates is that women have often chosen to be involved with crime and criminality while on other occasions their behaviour innocent as it was was not considered acceptable by contemporaries resulting in confusion and misapprehension of women who refused to fit a mould. Women’s Criminalisation and Offending in Australia and New Zealand brings together historical and criminological methods theories and scholars to shed light on how Australia and New Zealand’s colonial later state and national governments have sought to understand control and punish women. This collection will be of interest and value to scholars students and everyone with an interest in criminology history law sociology Indigenous studies and Australian and New Zealand studies.
