In her probing study, \u003ci\u003eIllness or Deviance?\u003c\/i\u003e, Jennifer Murphy investigates the various perspectives on addiction, and how society has myriad ways of handling it-incarcerating some drug users while putting others in treatment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIllness or Deviance?\u003c\/i\u003e highlights the confusion and contradictions about labeling addiction. Murphy’s fieldwork in a drug court and an outpatient drug treatment facility yields fascinating insights, such as how courts and treatment centers both enforce the “disease” label of addiction, yet their management tactics overlap treatment with “therapeutic punishment.” The “addict\" label is a result not just of using drugs, but also of being a part of the drug lifestyle, by selling drugs. In addition, Murphy observes that drug courts and treatment facilities benefit economically from their cooperation, creating a very powerful institutional arrangement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Murphy contextualizes her findings within theories of medical sociology as well as criminology to identify the policy implications of a medicalized view of addiction.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1 Drug Addiction: Illness or Deviance?\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2 Historic Tensions and the Development of Drug Treatment and Policy\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3 The Overlap of Clinical and Legal Authorities: Capital City’\u003cbr\u003es Drug Court\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4 Labeling Addiction in Outpatient Treatment: Southside and Westview Programs \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5 Managing Illness and Deviance: Therapeutic Punishment \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6 Conclusion: Reducing Stigma\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eAppendix: Methods and Perspective\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eNotes \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eReferences \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eIndex \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Temple University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52584908161304,"sku":"9781439910238","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/illness-or-deviance-drug-courts-drug-treatment-and-the-ambiguity-of-addiction-paperback-softback-9781439910238","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
