Successful 'recovery' from long-term problem drug use has depended largely upon understanding and tackling the physiological and psychological nature of drug dependence; however, drawing upon research and practice in Liverpool, England, the author questions whether this discourse is sufficient given the changing nature, context and attitudes towards drug consumption in the twenty-first century. This article emphasises the importance of incorporating structural and social factors. Drawing upon qualitative data from three separate studies, the author illustrates how stigmatisation, marginalisation, and social exclusion are significant debilitating components that have tended to be overlooked. This paper contributes new insights into the damaging impact of political rhetoric and structural discrimination that has placed many long-term drug users vulnerable to relapse. In response to these findings the author offers a new conceptual framework for practice, that incorporates and promotes an understanding of the social nature and context of long-term drug dependence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article focuses on the major ethical and political issues involved in the media's coverage of ethnic minorities. Many critics focus on the alleged institutional racism within the media industry when trying to explain the coverage of ethnic minorities. This racism is rooted in the country's imperial past, with feelings of racial superiority and crude nationalism now deeply embedded in the dominant culture. Local papers in Kent, England were accused of whipping up anti-immigrant sentiment in their coverage of asylum seekers. Concerns were also expressed after the newspapers Sun, Daily Telegraph and Daily Mail expressed ecstatic support for William Hague, Conservative leader, after his 18 April 2000 speech recommending the detention of all new asylum seekers in secure units and the formation of a special removals agency to get rid of rejected asylum seekers. The roots of racism are cultural, economic, political and are extremely complex. The long-hallowed cult of journalistic objectivity has too often been a veneer for what is essentially a predominantly white male point of view in news culture according to journalist John Phillip Santos of his experience in the United States.

This chapter considers material from the Norfolk Broads, England in the decades after the Second World War. The Broads, a region of shallow lakes and interconnecting rivers in eastern England, have been a key site for the development of conservation practice, and the disputed nature of conservation, and the human-animal relations that it presupposes, runs through the paper. The animal here marks out different cultures of nature in the region, each of which entails different claims to speak for the place and rests variously on practices of watching, listening, recording and killing. The chapter focuses on how animal and human became enfolded as subjects and objects; while the final part of the essay focuses on specific species, the starting-point is not a concern for animals per se. A relational sense of the subject-object, with human and non-human as objects and subjects in the story, generates various senses of animal geography. First, the assumption is that for all of these subjects-objects life entails a becoming-through-environment. Second, the authors find moral geographies of human and animal conduct in terms of appropriate and inappropriate ways of being in the region. Third, we encounter animal-human geographies in terms of a spatial zoning reflecting and reinforcing differences in human activity, habitat, property relations and regimes of management.
