International drug trafficking is a greatly debated global matter since it is a key problem in global relations. Drug trafficking is described as the global illegitimate trade that involves the manufacture, distribution, and sale of substances that are forbidden by the laws. Drug trafficking is said to be a worldwide issue since many actors comprising the transnational criminal organizations are involved. The undertaking involves many types of drug substances across the world. Such as marijuana, cocaine, heroin together with many other prescribed drugs. The drugs contribute to addiction as well as harming the human bodies, an aspect that brings about the prohibition in many nations. Many nations across the world focus on mitigating this menace through policies, which implement enforcement. Cartels involved in drug trafficking are associated with tipping the power scales back in their favors through seeking alternative trafficking methods. Drug trafficking impacts all members of countries across the globe whereby it undermines both the economic and political stability of nations. Further research is important because it will expound on the impacts of international drug trafficking on the community as well as helping in identifying the criminal networks and routes behind the illegal trade. International drug trafficking has significantly contributed to human suffering all over the globe and hence there is a need for action.

Although substance abuse and education appear to exhibit a circular relationship, it is alleged that education is a key intervention point for preventing substance abuse. Learners who consume drugs may suffer short-term memory impairment together with many other intellectual faculties. It may also lead to impaired tracking capabilities for perceptual and sensory functions. It may also translate into negative social and emotional development which ultimately leads to impaired performance in classrooms. Decreased cognitive efficiency translates into poor performance in academics as well as reduced self-esteem. Therefore, the overall result is instability in a person’s sense of identity that may lead to further substance abuse thus creating a vicious circle. Education is said to be amongst the principle ways through which drug abuse can be prevented despite the fact that the results will be produced in the long-term, it should be embraced (p. 918). This source contributes significantly to the solution of international trafficking menace by offering ways through which drug abuse can be prevented.

The article shows the historical account which is related to the development of drug detection using dogs. Dogs were used to detect illicit drugs, and it has become one of the strategies which are used to combat drug trafficking. In political and historical context policies have been developed in addressing the issue of drug trafficking. Use of dogs is one of the strategies which is used to detect drug trafficking, and they play important roles. Drug policies help in reducing the incidences of drug trafficking and other associated impacts.

The article explains the role of women in drug trafficking in the USA. Most of the illicit drugs are transported by women. Historically, drug trafficking was linked to men, but nowadays women have taken a big role n distributed of the illicit drugs. The domineering role of the males made them be linked to the drugs and those who provided. Little attention was given to the role of women in drug trafficking as they were viewed as powerlessness who cannot involve in such matters. Illicit drugs such as cocaine and Heroin are smuggled by women as they are less suspected to be carrying illicit drugs.

The economic burden of prescription opioid overdose... 2013.
The document summarizes a study that estimates the total economic burden of prescription opioid overdose, abuse, and dependence in the United States in 2013 was $78.5 billion. Over one third of this cost ($28.9 billion) was due to increased healthcare and substance abuse treatment costs. Approximately one quarter of the total cost was borne by the public sector through healthcare, substance abuse treatment, and criminal justice costs. The study utilized national data on opioid overdose deaths and abuse/dependence prevalence to estimate costs across multiple sectors including healthcare, substance abuse treatment, criminal justice, and lost productivity.

- A mixed methods study in Tijuana assessed the initial impact on 737 people who inject drugs through interviews and questionnaires from 2010-2013.
- Only 11% were aware of the reform and none experienced the treatment diversion. Narratives showed the law was irrelevant and police practices were inconsistent with the formal law.
- Police encounters were associated with increased risk behaviors like syringe sharing and polydrug use rather than the intended treatment diversion. Ancillary interventions are needed to improve public health outcomes of drug policy reforms.
Effective Strategies For Intervening With Drug Abusing Offenders
This document discusses the relationship between substance abuse and criminal offending. It finds that substance abuse is highly prevalent among correctional populations, with approximately 80% of inmates meeting criteria for substance involvement. The document reviews past public safety and public health strategies for intervening with drug-abusing offenders, finding that only integrated public health/public safety programs that combine treatment and criminal justice supervision have consistently reduced recidivism and drug use. It concludes by examining Proposition 36 and other policy initiatives, arguing they should be informed by empirical lessons from prior research.
Statement of the problem paper-1
Opioid addiction is a growing problem that significantly impacts individuals and society. Social workers are on the front lines addressing this issue through clinical work, education, and intervention programs. Research shows there are many triggers that can lead to opioid use, including use of other drugs like tobacco, avoidance of withdrawal symptoms, exposure to peer groups that use drugs, and conditioning of the brain to see drugs as rewarding despite negative consequences. Understanding these triggers is important for social workers to help prevent and intervene in opioid addiction.

Introduction
Research bases its success on the appropriate use of research tools to comprehensively analyze the factors affecting the research question. Existing literature is used to back these variables as well as assist in the development of queries and indexes that help answer the research question better. Additionally, appropriate sampling designs are necessary for conducting an accurate survey on the subjects in a discussion. This paper focuses on the establishment of these essential tools in the research on drug trafficking.
Variables Measured In the Research
Age
The intensity of an individual’s involvement in drug trafficking varies with age. According to research by Traughber, the median age of drug trafficking arrests is twenty-six years (2007). That number is lower when it comes to arrests based on drug consumption, which is a median of twenty-two years. This data suggests that the youth are actively involved in the drug business. However, data analyzed solely from arrests is insufficient to conclude that young people are the drivers of the drug business. Is it possible that the older dealers are just more vigilant than their rookie counterparts?
Race
A person’s race is a significant determinant in the kind of drugs they deal with. Capistrán points out that most white people traffic marijuana in countries where the drug is illegal, while blacks are mostly attracted to cocaine (2019). In terms of involvement, whites have the most cartels due to their exposure in the drug world and their access to better resources. It is, therefore, justifiable to say that race is a variable.
Financial Strength of Participants
The financial ability of drug traffickers is essential in discerning their degree of entanglement in the illegal business. Individuals with more financial might are likely to be higher up the chain, trafficking copious amounts of drugs to different destinations. These individuals are also expected to dominate the market, controlling the price of the drugs they deal with. What is the likelihood that it is these individ ...
eco620finalpaper
This document analyzes the relationship between substance abuse rates and various economic indicators in the United States from 1992-2012. Regression models were created relating substance abuse treatment data to real GDP, unemployment, and personal income. The results showed that alcohol, crack/cocaine, marijuana, heroin, and amphetamine usage were positively correlated with real GDP, while alcohol was positively correlated with unemployment. Marijuana in particular showed a strong positive relationship with real GDP and personal income. The analysis suggests substance abuse impacts economic indicators in complex ways that vary based on the specific substance.

This document discusses a case study conducted in 5 cities on the impact of neglecting rehabilitation rights for drug users during legal proceedings in Indonesia. It notes that while Indonesian law requires drug users to receive medical and social rehabilitation, over 38% of prisoners are drug users and prisons are overcrowded. The study aims to understand the psychological, social, economic, health, and educational impacts of this neglect by interviewing stakeholders like health and social welfare officials, police, lawyers, and drug user groups.

This document discusses debates around decriminalizing controlled substances. It notes that intoxication is a basic drive for many species and only became problematic in modern societies. While most nations signed UN drug conventions promoting criminalization, some countries have taken a more liberal approach through decriminalization or legalization. Ireland has taken an ambiguous approach, practicing harm reduction while maintaining prohibition. The document examines how legalizing cannabis in Ireland could impact drug users, their families, communities, and society, considering human rights and implications for social work.

The Controlled Substances Act of 1970 Drug Policy
Different laws and policies are enacted to protect and safeguard Americans from drug misuse and gun use to lead a healthy lifestyle. America is one of the countries facing the misuse and addition of drugs and other illicit substances. Not only in America, but drug and substance abuse have been a relevant menace globally and require an immediate response. As a result, different governments have engaged in finding efficient mechanisms to evaluate and determine the causes and implement strategic interventions to minimize and control the use, distribution, and sale of drug and substance abuse across the globe. Ideally, the United States of America enacted the Controlled Substance Act (CSA) of 1970, a drug policy controlling and regulating addictive and illegal drugs such as narcotics and marijuana. Thus, the Controlled Substance Act represents the federal American government policy primarily on drugs. The drug policy is not only a multiplex but an intersection for a better lifestyle among Americans. The current drug policy in America prevents and controls the use, distribution, and sale of stimulants, hallucinogenic substances, and depressants that people might abuse. Besides, the drug policy aids in determining if the contents in these drugs possess any medicinal purpose.
Notably, to remain effective in its goal, the Controlled Substance Act regulates and classifies drugs based on their possible abuse, medicinal benefits, and the harm they might impose on users. Narcotics and drugs are categorized in various classes and subclasses and scheduled depending on their abuse potential. Based on this drug classification, the high schedule implies strict laws in distributing and acquiring drugs. Several amendments have been made to the drug policy to change medications and pass laws in all states. Again, the Controlled Substance Act enhances intensive research to prevent drug reliance and substance abuse. Multiple procedures and frameworks for proper treatment and rehabilitation for drug addicts are well-defined in the act. Apart from the above-mentioned strengths, several weaknesses are attributable to the drug policy. For instance, the Controlled Substance Act restricted the access and sale to controlled substances among entities legal and registered to manufacture, distribute and sell the products. While the drug policy limits access to controlled substances, there is a registration exemption. Reduced findings on drug use and substance abuse and rehabilitated addicts would show the effectiveness of the drug policy. The paper will critically analyze the Controlled Substance Act of 1970 as one of the paramount drug policies in America. It will also discuss the implementation of the policy, its implications, significance, and effects on Americans. For it to be effective, the paper w.

This document provides an overview and summary of a conference on the perception and management of drug safety risks. It discusses the increasing public focus on drug risks over the past decades and the challenges around balancing risks and benefits. The conference brought together experts from academia, pharmaceutical companies, regulatory agencies, and consumer advocacy groups to have an open dialogue on improving understanding of risk perception, benefit-risk assessment, and risk communication regarding pharmaceutical products on an international level. It aimed to recognize the social dimensions of drug safety and risk management and identify opportunities for multidisciplinary collaboration to address existing issues.
Cdpc ln ungass-brief-2016-eng-full-final
This document discusses key issues and recommendations for Canada to promote at the upcoming UNGASS on drugs and UN Commission on Narcotic Drugs meeting. It recommends that Canada: 1) Promote and implement a public health approach to drugs based on evidence and human rights, including harm reduction; 2) Support harm reduction as a key component of response to drugs; 3) Pursue and support decriminalization of drug possession for personal use as essential to a public health approach. A public health approach frames drug use as a health issue and prioritizes health and human rights over punishment. Harm reduction and decriminalization are seen as necessary for an effective public health-based system.
American Prohibition Secondary Analysis & Unit Of Analysis[1]
This research aims to examine the hypothesis that American prohibition policies, including the "War on Drugs", and subsequent incarceration rates have significantly reduced the educational attainment of American students. The independent variable is American prohibition and incarceration, while the dependent variable is levels of educational attainment. Secondary sources of data will be analyzed using methods like frequency distribution and cross-tabulation to measure changes in educational attainment rates before and after prohibition policies. The research argues that ending prohibition and reducing incarceration could help improve educational outcomes for American students.

VIOLENCE IN THE ILLICIT DRUG MARKET AND PUBLIC POLICY RESPONSES
AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY
ECON 430 THE WAR ON DRUGS: ECONOMICS, HISTORY AND PUBLIC POLICY
INTEGRATIVE SUMMARY
In this annotated bibliography, I review the problem of violence in the illicit drug market. The purpose of the Summary is to discuss the problem of violence in the illicit drug market and related public policy approached. All the articles reviewed and summarized address the problem of violence in the illicit drug market. The first article discussed interpersonal violence. The second article addresses violence in the illicit drug market, the involvement of gang leaders and public policy approaches.
There appears to be a controversy regarding appropriate approaches to limiting the violence in the drug market. In the first article, drug violence is recognized as a major public health issue. The article focuses on interpersonal violence and recognizes that violence in the drug market is due to a lack formal ways to resolve economic disputes in the illicit drug market. The second article argues that public policy approaches that try to prohibit drugs leads to increasing violence in the illicit drug market. The authors then propose that alternative approaches should be developed to mitigate violence in the illicit drug market.
Amanda Atkinson, Zara Anderson, Karen Hughes, Mark A Bellis, Harry Sumnall and Qutub Syed, Interpersonal Violence and Illicit Drugs, Working Paper, Liverpool John Moores University, (Centre for Public Health) 2009
This briefing summarizes the links between interpersonal violence and illicit drug use, identifies risk factors for involvement in drug-related violence, outlines prevention measures that address drug-related violence, and explores the role of public health in prevention. It discusses links between drugs and violence based on available evidence, focusing primarily on illicit drugs. In general, the illicit use of prescription drugs is not discussed.
Interpersonal violence and illicit drug use are major public health challenges that are strongly linked. Involvement in drug use can increase the risks of being both a victim and/or perpetrator of violence, while experiencing violence can increase the risks of initiating illicit drug use. The impacts of drug-related interpersonal violence can be substantial, da.

Introduction and Purpose Statement
The threats to America that are imposed from transnational crimes are constantly changing.
The threats may originate from other nations throughout the world; but, the impacts throughout
America is surreal. The US Government fight against transnational crimes are nothing less than
intricate. US interests abroad are impacted by these threatening networks. Weapons trafficking,
intellectual property theft, cybercrime, human smuggling, trafficking in persons, and illicit drug
trafficking contribute to other crimes that evolves around these transnational crimes. The bottom
line is that the threats created by these crimes are not isolated to one specific nation or a specific
region in the world. The US Government policies that are designed to combat transnational
crimes must address both present-day threats and potential future threats.
The purpose of this paper is to explore US Government policies targeting illicit drug
trafficking and cyber-laundering while identifying vulnerabilities within the policies (if any) and
their impact on threats from terrorist organizations. Transnational crime, narcotics, and terrorism
financing are not geographical concerns. All three can be linked specifically by having potential
effect across national borders. Transnational Organized Crime (TOC) has established a
significant and increasing threat to national and international security, with dire implications for

SPT 208 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
Marketing and advertising are often used interchangeably, yet throughout this course you have learned that marketing is a much larger concept that requires a
strong understanding of consumer behavior, products and services, and often the greater economic environment. Marketing is applicable to every industry and
discipline in one way or another, but within the sport industry we have the chance to see the application of marketing concepts as if under a spotlight due to the
industry’s global reach and importance to society.
Your final project is the creation of an Opportunity and Consumer Analysis. You will select a sport team, individual, facility, or organization as the focus of your
consumer and opportunity analysis. When selecting your area of focus, think about your interests and career aspirations. As you progress through the course,
you will have the opportunity to practice the skills required for this project in several milestone activities. Your final deliverable will include a strengths,
weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis of your selected focus; a consumer analysis; an analysis of successful marketing and media strategies;
and a brief 1-, 3-, and 5-year plan that allows you to explain your intended use of a proven marketing strategy and various media opportunities. Please note that
your Opportunity and Consumer Analysis will be an eligible artifact to include in your program portfolio, as it will highlight your ability to recognize consumer
characteristics and opportunities for brand improvement.
The project is divided into two milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final
submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Three and Five. The final Opportunity and Consumer Analysis will be submitted in Module Seven.

Three Mountains Regional Hospital Code of Ethics
Progressive developments in science and technology in the 20th century contributed to advances in healthcare and medicine that have helped many lives. Healthcare professionals are confronted with ethical dilemmas and moral questions as the context in which healthcare is provided keeps on changing. Healthcare specialists are required to be dedicated to excellence within their professional practice of promoting community, organizational, family, and individual health. Healthcare code of ethics provides a platform for shared professional values (Wocial & Tarzian, 2015). It is the responsibility of healthcare specialists to reach the best possible standards of conduct and to encourage these ethical practices to those with whom they work together. Healthcare professionals are facing challenges as the context in which healthcare is provided keeps on changing.
The Three Mountains Regional Hospital code of ethics will clarify the roles and responsibilities within the healthcare profession. The code of ethics will also guide the healthcare professionals on addressing common ethical questions. With 15,000 admissions annually, the Three Mountains Regional Hospital requires a code of ethics that will guide the healthcare professionals in the hospital in dealing with such a capacity. Healthcare professionals from the hospital will be defined by their purpose but not their job description (Turner & Epstein, 2015). The proposed code of ethics will inform individual decision-making when faced with ethical situations within a given relationship or role at the Three Mountains Regional Hospital.
Ethics are an essential part of healthcare, and they should provide value in practical situations. The proposed code of ethics will provide a structure and shape to the Three Mountains Regional Hospital’s environment and summarize the healthcare organization’s ethical position. The code of ethics will describe the ethical attitude shared by healthcare workers at Three Mountains Regional Hospital, and it will be valuable and influential on the success of the healthcare organization. The mission of the code of ethics is to guide the hospital is leading the way to a healthier community through the provision of quality care.
Code of Ethics
· Uphold the policies of the Three Mountains Regional Hospital (Merry & Walton, 2017).
· Protect the intellectual, physical, and electronic property of the hospital (Hoppe & Lenk, 2016).
· Promote a healthy, secure, and safe working environment (Merry & Walton, 2017).
· Act responsibly and honestly by avoiding perceived or actual conflicts of interest (Merry & Walton, 2017).
· Protect and respect the privacy and confidentiality of all individuals and informat.

Midterm exam 25%
Test 3 20%
Final exam 25%
Essay on live musical performance 10%
Essay assignment will consist of attending a live musical performance at the Frost School of Music (or approved off campus performance). At the conclusion of the performance, you will obtain signatures of two or more participants. You will compose an essay that will summarize the performance (ensemble, repertoire, etc.). You will compare and/or contrast the performance with details we have studied in class. The essay should be two to three pages long, computer printed, double spaced, and stapled. It will be due on Thursday, November 19.
Conduct and rules:
Rock and roll is a joyous art form. I intend for the class to be a fun and learning environment. I hope to engage you as adults, not as adolescents. However, inappropriate language or behavior to one another will not be tolerated, and will result in the student facing disciplinary action and potential removal from the class. You are adults. I am not your baby-sitter. If you fail to attend class regularly, you will find it much more difficult to excel in the course. SHOW UP AND PAY ATTENTION! It will make your life easier in the long run. Plagiarism on your essay will not be acceptable, and will result in the loss of 10% of your final grade. Cheating is rampant. While I will make every effort to curb the options students might have to copy one another on tests, I can’t stop it completely. I will have assistance from the Honor Council on test days, and cheating will result in a zero on that test. None of you can afford this. I truly believe that if you will engage the material, come to the lectures, and actively listen to the required listening material, you will not find a need to cheat.
If you are feeling overwhelmed by any of the material, please make an appointment to meet with me during office hours.
Lectures and listening:
Each class will consist of a lecture and a period of listening to music appropriate to that lecture. The music played in class will be made available to you through Blackboard in addition. You will be responsible for the material presented.

Introduction
Research bases its success on the appropriate use of research tools to comprehensively analyze the factors affecting the research question. Existing literature is used to back these variables as well as assist in the development of queries and indexes that help answer the research question better. Additionally, appropriate sampling designs are necessary for conducting an accurate survey on the subjects in a discussion. This paper focuses on the establishment of these essential tools in the research on drug trafficking.
Variables Measured In the Research
Age
The intensity of an individual’s involvement in drug trafficking varies with age. According to research by Traughber, the median age of drug trafficking arrests is twenty-six years (2007). That number is lower when it comes to arrests based on drug consumption, which is a median of twenty-two years. This data suggests that the youth are actively involved in the drug business. However, data analyzed solely from arrests is insufficient to conclude that young people are the drivers of the drug business. Is it possible that the older dealers are just more vigilant than their rookie counterparts?
Race
A person’s race is a significant determinant in the kind of drugs they deal with. Capistrán points out that most white people traffic marijuana in countries where the drug is illegal, while blacks are mostly attracted to cocaine (2019). In terms of involvement, whites have the most cartels due to their exposure in the drug world and their access to better resources. It is, therefore, justifiable to say that race is a variable.
Financial Strength of Participants
The financial ability of drug traffickers is essential in discerning their degree of entanglement in the illegal business. Individuals with more financial might are likely to be higher up the chain, trafficking copious amounts of drugs to different destinations. These individuals are also expected to dominate the market, controlling the price of the drugs they deal with. What is the likelihood that it is these individ ...

This document analyzes the relationship between substance abuse rates and various economic indicators in the United States from 1992-2012. Regression models were created relating substance abuse treatment data to real GDP, unemployment, and personal income. The results showed that alcohol, crack/cocaine, marijuana, heroin, and amphetamine usage were positively correlated with real GDP, while alcohol was positively correlated with unemployment. Marijuana in particular showed a strong positive relationship with real GDP and personal income. The analysis suggests substance abuse impacts economic indicators in complex ways that vary based on the specific substance.

The Controlled Substances Act of 1970 Drug Policy
Different laws and policies are enacted to protect and safeguard Americans from drug misuse and gun use to lead a healthy lifestyle. America is one of the countries facing the misuse and addition of drugs and other illicit substances. Not only in America, but drug and substance abuse have been a relevant menace globally and require an immediate response. As a result, different governments have engaged in finding efficient mechanisms to evaluate and determine the causes and implement strategic interventions to minimize and control the use, distribution, and sale of drug and substance abuse across the globe. Ideally, the United States of America enacted the Controlled Substance Act (CSA) of 1970, a drug policy controlling and regulating addictive and illegal drugs such as narcotics and marijuana. Thus, the Controlled Substance Act represents the federal American government policy primarily on drugs. The drug policy is not only a multiplex but an intersection for a better lifestyle among Americans. The current drug policy in America prevents and controls the use, distribution, and sale of stimulants, hallucinogenic substances, and depressants that people might abuse. Besides, the drug policy aids in determining if the contents in these drugs possess any medicinal purpose.
Notably, to remain effective in its goal, the Controlled Substance Act regulates and classifies drugs based on their possible abuse, medicinal benefits, and the harm they might impose on users. Narcotics and drugs are categorized in various classes and subclasses and scheduled depending on their abuse potential. Based on this drug classification, the high schedule implies strict laws in distributing and acquiring drugs. Several amendments have been made to the drug policy to change medications and pass laws in all states. Again, the Controlled Substance Act enhances intensive research to prevent drug reliance and substance abuse. Multiple procedures and frameworks for proper treatment and rehabilitation for drug addicts are well-defined in the act. Apart from the above-mentioned strengths, several weaknesses are attributable to the drug policy. For instance, the Controlled Substance Act restricted the access and sale to controlled substances among entities legal and registered to manufacture, distribute and sell the products. While the drug policy limits access to controlled substances, there is a registration exemption. Reduced findings on drug use and substance abuse and rehabilitated addicts would show the effectiveness of the drug policy. The paper will critically analyze the Controlled Substance Act of 1970 as one of the paramount drug policies in America. It will also discuss the implementation of the policy, its implications, significance, and effects on Americans. For it to be effective, the paper w.

This document discusses key issues and recommendations for Canada to promote at the upcoming UNGASS on drugs and UN Commission on Narcotic Drugs meeting. It recommends that Canada: 1) Promote and implement a public health approach to drugs based on evidence and human rights, including harm reduction; 2) Support harm reduction as a key component of response to drugs; 3) Pursue and support decriminalization of drug possession for personal use as essential to a public health approach. A public health approach frames drug use as a health issue and prioritizes health and human rights over punishment. Harm reduction and decriminalization are seen as necessary for an effective public health-based system.

VIOLENCE IN THE ILLICIT DRUG MARKET AND PUBLIC POLICY RESPONSES
AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY
ECON 430 THE WAR ON DRUGS: ECONOMICS, HISTORY AND PUBLIC POLICY
INTEGRATIVE SUMMARY
In this annotated bibliography, I review the problem of violence in the illicit drug market. The purpose of the Summary is to discuss the problem of violence in the illicit drug market and related public policy approached. All the articles reviewed and summarized address the problem of violence in the illicit drug market. The first article discussed interpersonal violence. The second article addresses violence in the illicit drug market, the involvement of gang leaders and public policy approaches.
There appears to be a controversy regarding appropriate approaches to limiting the violence in the drug market. In the first article, drug violence is recognized as a major public health issue. The article focuses on interpersonal violence and recognizes that violence in the drug market is due to a lack formal ways to resolve economic disputes in the illicit drug market. The second article argues that public policy approaches that try to prohibit drugs leads to increasing violence in the illicit drug market. The authors then propose that alternative approaches should be developed to mitigate violence in the illicit drug market.
Amanda Atkinson, Zara Anderson, Karen Hughes, Mark A Bellis, Harry Sumnall and Qutub Syed, Interpersonal Violence and Illicit Drugs, Working Paper, Liverpool John Moores University, (Centre for Public Health) 2009
This briefing summarizes the links between interpersonal violence and illicit drug use, identifies risk factors for involvement in drug-related violence, outlines prevention measures that address drug-related violence, and explores the role of public health in prevention. It discusses links between drugs and violence based on available evidence, focusing primarily on illicit drugs. In general, the illicit use of prescription drugs is not discussed.
Interpersonal violence and illicit drug use are major public health challenges that are strongly linked. Involvement in drug use can increase the risks of being both a victim and/or perpetrator of violence, while experiencing violence can increase the risks of initiating illicit drug use. The impacts of drug-related interpersonal violence can be substantial, da.

Introduction and Purpose Statement
The threats to America that are imposed from transnational crimes are constantly changing.
The threats may originate from other nations throughout the world; but, the impacts throughout
America is surreal. The US Government fight against transnational crimes are nothing less than
intricate. US interests abroad are impacted by these threatening networks. Weapons trafficking,
intellectual property theft, cybercrime, human smuggling, trafficking in persons, and illicit drug
trafficking contribute to other crimes that evolves around these transnational crimes. The bottom
line is that the threats created by these crimes are not isolated to one specific nation or a specific
region in the world. The US Government policies that are designed to combat transnational
crimes must address both present-day threats and potential future threats.
The purpose of this paper is to explore US Government policies targeting illicit drug
trafficking and cyber-laundering while identifying vulnerabilities within the policies (if any) and
their impact on threats from terrorist organizations. Transnational crime, narcotics, and terrorism
financing are not geographical concerns. All three can be linked specifically by having potential
effect across national borders. Transnational Organized Crime (TOC) has established a
significant and increasing threat to national and international security, with dire implications for
public safety, public health, democratic institutions, and economic stability across the globe
(Finckenauer 2006, 124). The US Government have many Presidential Directives (PD) and
policies that target these areas, but are they really having an impact? Without a shadow of a
doubt, drug trafficking has resulted in funding that has supported terrorism and in some cases
such as the Madrid bombing, drugs were being utilized as the currency. The same scenario can
happen in any small or large city in America. US Government policies must be able to
compliment or supplement other Nations policies in the fight against transnational crime.

SPT 208 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric Overview .docx
SPT 208 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
Marketing and advertising are often used interchangeably, yet throughout this course you have learned that marketing is a much larger concept that requires a
strong understanding of consumer behavior, products and services, and often the greater economic environment. Marketing is applicable to every industry and
discipline in one way or another, but within the sport industry we have the chance to see the application of marketing concepts as if under a spotlight due to the
industry’s global reach and importance to society.
Your final project is the creation of an Opportunity and Consumer Analysis. You will select a sport team, individual, facility, or organization as the focus of your
consumer and opportunity analysis. When selecting your area of focus, think about your interests and career aspirations. As you progress through the course,
you will have the opportunity to practice the skills required for this project in several milestone activities. Your final deliverable will include a strengths,
weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis of your selected focus; a consumer analysis; an analysis of successful marketing and media strategies;
and a brief 1-, 3-, and 5-year plan that allows you to explain your intended use of a proven marketing strategy and various media opportunities. Please note that
your Opportunity and Consumer Analysis will be an eligible artifact to include in your program portfolio, as it will highlight your ability to recognize consumer
characteristics and opportunities for brand improvement.
The project is divided into two milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final
submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Three and Five. The final Opportunity and Consumer Analysis will be submitted in Module Seven.
This assessment addresses the following course outcomes:
• Analyze consumer behaviors for the influence of political, cultural, and social events on consumer motivation at the local, national, or international
levels within the sport industry
• Illustrate the application of key marketing strategies in successful sport-specific marketing campaigns
• Identify proven marketing strategies that can be successfully applied to specific sport marketing scenarios to attract consumers
• Compare media opportunities for successfully communicating and marketing towards specific consumers within the sport industry
Prompt
Develop a comprehensive Opportunity and Consumer Analysis. Select a sport team, individual, facility, or organization and provide a thorough analysis of the
existing marketing strategies and consumers, and determine an opportunity for greater consumer reach. Outline a brief 1-, 3-, and 5-year plan for the marketing
opportunity.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

Three Mountains Regional Hospital Code of Ethics
Progressive developments in science and technology in the 20th century contributed to advances in healthcare and medicine that have helped many lives. Healthcare professionals are confronted with ethical dilemmas and moral questions as the context in which healthcare is provided keeps on changing. Healthcare specialists are required to be dedicated to excellence within their professional practice of promoting community, organizational, family, and individual health. Healthcare code of ethics provides a platform for shared professional values (Wocial & Tarzian, 2015). It is the responsibility of healthcare specialists to reach the best possible standards of conduct and to encourage these ethical practices to those with whom they work together. Healthcare professionals are facing challenges as the context in which healthcare is provided keeps on changing.
The Three Mountains Regional Hospital code of ethics will clarify the roles and responsibilities within the healthcare profession. The code of ethics will also guide the healthcare professionals on addressing common ethical questions. With 15,000 admissions annually, the Three Mountains Regional Hospital requires a code of ethics that will guide the healthcare professionals in the hospital in dealing with such a capacity. Healthcare professionals from the hospital will be defined by their purpose but not their job description (Turner & Epstein, 2015). The proposed code of ethics will inform individual decision-making when faced with ethical situations within a given relationship or role at the Three Mountains Regional Hospital.
Ethics are an essential part of healthcare, and they should provide value in practical situations. The proposed code of ethics will provide a structure and shape to the Three Mountains Regional Hospital’s environment and summarize the healthcare organization’s ethical position. The code of ethics will describe the ethical attitude shared by healthcare workers at Three Mountains Regional Hospital, and it will be valuable and influential on the success of the healthcare organization. The mission of the code of ethics is to guide the hospital is leading the way to a healthier community through the provision of quality care.
Code of Ethics
· Uphold the policies of the Three Mountains Regional Hospital (Merry & Walton, 2017).
· Protect the intellectual, physical, and electronic property of the hospital (Hoppe & Lenk, 2016).
· Promote a healthy, secure, and safe working environment (Merry & Walton, 2017).
· Act responsibly and honestly by avoiding perceived or actual conflicts of interest (Merry & Walton, 2017).
· Protect and respect the privacy and confidentiality of all individuals and informat.

EVOLUTION OF ROCK
MCY 127
Course Description:
This general education course is a study of the birth and evolution of the music form of Rock and Roll. It is a study of both the historical and musical elements of rock with a focus on the performers and the songs in the genre. Some of the objectives for this course include:
Increasing awareness of the wide range of musical styles that “add up” to form rock
Provide insight on the cultural evolution of rock and how it applies to society
Study how technological advances have influenced both the performers and composers in rock
Prerequsites:
None
Required text:
None
Required listening: Spotify playlist MCY127TS
Course Requirements and Grading:
Test 1 20%
Midterm exam 25%
Test 3 20%
Final exam 25%
Essay on live musical performance 10%
Essay assignment will consist of attending a live musical performance at the Frost School of Music (or approved off campus performance). At the conclusion of the performance, you will obtain signatures of two or more participants. You will compose an essay that will summarize the performance (ensemble, repertoire, etc.). You will compare and/or contrast the performance with details we have studied in class. The essay should be two to three pages long, computer printed, double spaced, and stapled. It will be due on Thursday, November 19.
Conduct and rules:
Rock and roll is a joyous art form. I intend for the class to be a fun and learning environment. I hope to engage you as adults, not as adolescents. However, inappropriate language or behavior to one another will not be tolerated, and will result in the student facing disciplinary action and potential removal from the class. You are adults. I am not your baby-sitter. If you fail to attend class regularly, you will find it much more difficult to excel in the course. SHOW UP AND PAY ATTENTION! It will make your life easier in the long run. Plagiarism on your essay will not be acceptable, and will result in the loss of 10% of your final grade. Cheating is rampant. While I will make every effort to curb the options students might have to copy one another on tests, I can’t stop it completely. I will have assistance from the Honor Council on test days, and cheating will result in a zero on that test. None of you can afford this. I truly believe that if you will engage the material, come to the lectures, and actively listen to the required listening material, you will not find a need to cheat.
If you are feeling overwhelmed by any of the material, please make an appointment to meet with me during office hours.
Lectures and listening:
Each class will consist of a lecture and a period of listening to music appropriate to that lecture. The music played in class will be made available to you through Blackboard in addition. You will be responsible for the material presented.

What Is
the Theory
f ̂ Fiof
y
Firm?
Focus less on competitive advantage and more on growth
that creates value, by Todd Zenger
f asked to define strategy, most execu-
tives would probably come up with
something like this: Strategy involves
discovering and targeting attractive
markets and then crafting positions that
deliver sustained competitive advan-
tage in them. Companies achieve these
positions by configuring and arranging
resources and activities to provide either
unique value to customers or common
value at a uniquely low cost. This view of strategy as
position remains central in business school curricula
around the globe: Valuable positions, protected from
imitation and appropriation, provide sustained profit
streams.
Unfortunately, investors don't reward senior
managers for simply occupying and defending po-
sitions. Equity markets are full of companies with
powerful positions and sluggish stock prices. The
retail giant Walmart is a case in point. Few people
would dispute that it remains a remarkable firm. Its
early focus on building a regionally dense network
of stores in small towns delivered a strong positional
advantage. Complementary choices regarding ad-
vertising, pricing, and information technology all
continue to support its low-cost and flexibly mer-
chandised stores.
Despite this strong position and a successful stra-
tegic rollout, Walmart's equity price has seen little
growth for most of the past 12 or 13 years. That's be-
cause the ongoing rollout was anticipated long ago,
and investors seek evidence of newly discovered
value—value of compounding magnitude. Merely
sustaining prior financial returns, even if they are
outstanding, does not significantly increase share
price; tomorrow's positive surprises must be worth
more than yesterday's.
Not surprisingly, I consistently advise MBA stu-
dents that if they're confronted with a choice be-
tween leading a poorly run company and leading a
well-run one, they should choose the former. Imag-
ine assuming the reins of GE from Jack Welch in Sep-
tember 2001 with shareholders' having enjoyed a 40-
fold increase in value over the prior two decades. The
expectations baked into the share price of a company
like that are daunting, to say the least.
To make matters worse, attempts to grow often
undermine a company's current market position.
As Michael Porter, the leading proponent of strat-
egy as positioning, has argued, "Efforts to grow blur

uniqueness, create compromises, reduce fit, and
ultimately undermine competitive advantage. In
fact, the growth imperative is hazardous to strategy."
Quite simply, the logic of this perspective not only
provides little guidance about how to sustain value
creation but also discourages growth that might in
einy way move a compeiny away from i.

Why We Love
to Hate HR

July–August 2015 Harvard Business Review 55
These feelings aren’t new. They’ve erupted now
and in the past because we don’t like being told how
to behave—and no other group in organizational life,
not even finance, bosses us around as systematically
as HR does. We get defensive when we’re instructed
to change how we interact with people, especially
those who report to us, because that goes right to the
core of who we are. What’s more, HR makes us per-
form tasks we dislike, such as documenting problems
with employees. And it prevents us from doing what
we want, such as hiring someone we “just know” is
a good fit. Its directives affect every person in the
organization, right up to the top, every single day.
The complaints also have a cyclical quality—
they’re driven largely by the business context. Usu-
ally when companies are struggling with labor issues,
HR is seen as a valued leadership partner. When
things are going more smoothly all around, manag-
ers tend to think, “What’s HR doing for us, anyway?”
This doesn’t mean that HR is above reproach.
Quite the contrary: It has plenty of room to improve,
and this is a moment of enormous opportunity. Little
has been done in the past few decades to examine the
value of widely used practices that are central to how
companies operate. By separating the effective from
the worthless, HR leaders can secure huge payoffs for
their organizations. But it’s important to understand
HR’s tumultuous history with business leaders and
the economy before turning our attention to what the
function should be doing now and in the future.
The “Personnel” Pendulum
How top executives feel about HR pretty reliably re-
flects what’s going on in the U.S. economy. When the
economy is down and the labor market is slack, they
see HR as a nuisance. But sentiments change when
labor tightens up and HR practices become essential
to companies’ immediate success.
Think back to the Great Depression. People would
put up with nearly anything to stay employed. Line
managers complained that personnel departments
were getting in the way of better performance, which
they thought could be achieved with the “drive” sys-
tem: threatening workers and sometimes even hit-
ting them if they failed to measure up.
Similarly, business leaders didn’t put a lot of
stock in HR during the 2001 and 2008 recessions, be-
cause employees—keenly aware of how replaceable

Automotive
Rights-holder:

Agency:

Other organisations involved in the

Several service providers (including event
agency, TV commercialisation,

Campaign summary
Launched in 2009, the year of Audi’s 100th anniversary,
the Audi Cup is a pre-seasonal worldwide football
tournament. Leading teams including FC Barcelona,
Real Madrid and Manchester United meet in Munich
for the biennial Audi Cup during the summer break in
football.
The event is an owned and mainly refinanced
platform by Audi with a strong international media
presence, achieving around 2.5 billion consumer
contacts across television and online media at each
tournament in around 200 countries. With cutting-edge
technologies as an integral part of its staging and
coverage, the event provides a global opportunity to
highlight Audi’s “Vorsprung durch Technik” values.
Planning
Business needs
The Audi Cup provides an ideal platform to present
a strong, resonating connection between top-level
international football and the brand’s “Vorsprung
durch Technik” positioning. Audi has been involved in
international football for over 14 years and the launch
of the Audi Cup in 2009 established a new benchmark
in proprietary sports marketing, creating a whole new
way for Audi to implement its own rights in a highly
controlled and targeted manner.
Taking a “high-tech” approach to the world of
football broadcasting and marketing, the Audi Cup
meets the clear business need for Audi to demonstrate

and underpin its core brand proposition as a highly
innovative, technologically advanced automotive
company.
The development and implementation of tools
including the first ever implementation of digital overlay
of led boards in live broadcasting and the first ever live
holographic press conference in sport, a dedicated
chatbot and Alexa Skill and the Audi Player Index, not
only underline Audi’s status as a “high-tech” brand but
genuinely enhance enjoyment of the tournament for
fans, building a truly relevant connection.
Sponsorship selection
Audi’s long association with football, with its focus on
high-profile, global clubs, saw the brand develop from
a classic sponsor to an owner and organiser of various
leading platforms in its own right – the Audi Cup, Audi
Summer Tour and Audi Football Summit. With these
properties and its year-round association with the
game, Audi set itself the goal of elevating its successful
sponsorships into full ownership; Audi shifted from a
host or a marque associated with the.

Annotated Bibliography
You second major project for the course will be an annotated bibliography. Instead of writing a
paper, an annotated bibliography requires you to research a particular legal topic or question, of
your choosing, in sports and find academic and law review articles that address that topic. You
will develop a question about a legal topic in sports and find seven law review articles to
summarize. Each article summary should be 300-350 words in length and should both explain
the contents of the article and its relevance to your question or topic. The summaries should be
written in your own words. You are required to select law review articles using LexisNexis. The
format for the annotated bibliography is explained below.
Please put your topic as the title for your paper. Next, each annotation should begin with the
APA citation for the article in bold print (do not include web links), followed by a summary of
the article (300-350 words) explaining how it addresses your question. The complete annotated
bibliography should be double-spaced, 12pt Times New Roman font with one-inch margins. You
will be submitting it through Turnitin via Canvas, do not include your name, course number,
date or UFID on your annotated bibliography (similar to the case briefs). You should start each
annotation on a separate page, and please remember to begin each annotation with the APA
citation for the article as instructed above. This assignment is due on Wednesday, April 22nd.

Speech Environment and Recording Requirements• You must have a.docx
Speech Environment and Recording Requirements
• You must have an audience of at least 5 adults 18 years or older for all speeches. The audience must be live and in person, that is, physically present. Virtual attendance is not permitted. Your video recording must show the 5 individuals sitting as ENGAGED audience members. The audience should be visible before, during, and after the speech and you should be facing your audience. The camera should be placed behind your audience.
• You are required to record and post all 3 speeches in order to earn a passing grade in this course.
• The video must be of a high enough quality that the instructor is able to see your full facial expressions and gestures. Your instructor will need to be able to hear your voice very clearly. You risk a failing grade if your instructor is not able to discern facial expressions or subtle changes of vocal intonation on the recording.
• Be sure to record your presentation from head to toe. Your instructor needs to be able to see your posture and other elements.
• Be certain to record your video in landscape (wide), not portrait (tall).
• You may not stop the recording and re-record a section of your speech. What you
submit must be a complete presentation from start to finish with NO EDITING. You could record your speech a few times and then pick the best presentation to send. Just make sure you only submit one copy of your best speech.
• You will upload your speech following the YouTube directions and proper privacy guidelines. Speech capture directions and instructions are in Module 1 of the Blackboard online classroom.
• Be certain to provide a video link to your speech that is available for your instructor and college administrators to view without requiring passwords or special permissions. Submitting a link that does not immediately provide this access results in a failing grade for your speech and could result in a failing grade for the course. You cannot use Google Hangouts or other mediated communication in place of a live audience. Your live audience must be physically present at the location you deliver your speech.
• Any attempt to circumvent live speech audience requirements perceived by your instructor as deceptive, dishonest or otherwise disingenuous results in a zero for your speech with no opportunity to make it up and may result in a failing grade in the course and referral to the appropriate FSCJ administrative official for academic dishonesty.
• The video link (URL) you provide for your speech must remain posted, active and viewable until 14 calendar days following the official scheduled end of the semester, according to the official FSCJ academic calendar. Removing your speech from the URL or link you provide automatically reverts any score you have to a zero and will result in a failing grade for the course.
• Attempts to work around presenting in front of a live audience are considered academic dishonesty.
• Posting your speech on a screen or readin.
Sped4 Interview 2.10.17 Audio.m4aJodee [000008] And we are .docx
Sped4 Interview 2.10.17 Audio.m4a
Jodee: [00:00:08] And we are looking at the collaborative process between secondary special ed teachers and transitioning and transition specialists when transitioning students with autism spectrum disorder or other disabilities from secondary to higher. OK so the first question is is describe the condition process as you understand it from the guidelines of the secondary transition plan.
Sped4: [00:00:52] OK. So first thing is a series of assessments that are appropriate for assessing it can include you know obviously interviewing the teacher not not the teacher the student and then sometimes parents are involved in that process. Then there's other batteries of tests. Things like the couter doing AZCIS things other interests inventories and things of that nature to get that. Looking at transcripts students grades grade reports in those things and taking those all that data and that assessment information and looking at that.That's my understanding and interpretation and kind of what I do.
Jodee: [00:01:46] So you know it's the responsibility of the secondary teacher special ed teacher as the case manager to interview the students. And you know one of the big pieces that we look at is the age appropriate goals. You know if you've got a student who is who is autistic academically They're very bright. They can do the work but they have absolutely zero social skills. And they want you maybe studied to be. They want to go into broadcast journalism or something along those lines. So it's like having you determined you know is it like a collaborative effort. You determine and work with the other person you know because sometimes you have to be that person and say yes might not be the best fit for you. How does that kind of playing into things.
Sped4: [00:02:51] I don't know like I don't mind doing that or being the one.
Sped4: [00:02:58] I haven't run into that exact situation but I have other situations where students wanted to go straight to university from high school and just had these visions of grandeur. But their GPA would not allow for that or they had other deficiencies and things of that nature. And so it's just it's sometimes it's like literally printing out the requirement and showing them just saying you know these aren't going to work. It's not a possibility. However it doesn't mean that you can't go on to higher education. And just providing them alternative routes like one if there is enough time if there for example is there a sophomore or a junior. You know we look at like Well is there enough time to get rid of these deficiencies. Can you take some of these courses. Can you do that to get your GPA up to get rid of the deficiencies et cetera. Is that feasible. Is that feasible with money or mom is mom and dad going to pay for that you know. And is there enough time or looking. OK well if that's not an option then community college is not necessarily a bad thing to do it right. When did yo.
Speech Recognition in the Electronic Health Record (2013 u.docx
Speech Recognition in the Electronic Health
Record (2013 update)
Introduction
Many technologies exist to assist with better clinical documentation and speech recognition technology (SRT) is one
solution. Since SRT uses mathematic probabilities, the technology can be complicated. The goals of its use in
healthcare today, however, are clear: Increase productivity, decrease costs, and improve documentation while
placing it closest to the point of care.
This practice brief focuses on increasing the understanding of how speech recognition works by highlighting the
driving forces that are shaping current and future applications of this technology and its associated benefits and risks.
This practice brief also provides tools including illustrated work flow, tasks and skills, and best practices to assist in
efficient and effective application of SRT for day-to-day operations.
Driving Forces
Payment reform. Quality measures. Meaningful use. EHR adoption. Transition to ICD-10-CM/PCS. Health
information exchange. Consumer engagement. Personal health records and patient portals. What do these areas have
in common? They all point to the increasing need for accurate, complete, and accessible data in an environment that
requires real-time documentation.
Documentation should improve the quality of the patient encounter and create efficiencies.
In the past, handwriting provided an immediate record of care. Legibility came to the forefront as an issue and
documentation was often not as comprehensive when compared to a well-constructed dictated note. Today, speech
recognition or speech-to-text is used in conjunction with the EHR and is considered a viable option in the face of the
growing demand for near-real-time data.
Front-end speech recognition (FESR) and back-end speech recognition (BESR) technologies can help in the
production of legible and comprehensive document(s). It also serves as a productivity tool to help lower costs and
increase productivity, especially when compared to the manual labor required by traditional dictation and
transcription.
Emerging Roles
In 2012, The Association for Healthcare Documentation Integrity (AHDI) coined the term "healthcare
documentation specialist (HDS)," which they define as "an umbrella term that includes medical transcriptionists,
speech recognition editors and QA specialists."1
For the purposes of this practice brief, the term "HDS" will be used when referring to this role. Visit AHDI's website
for more information on the role of the HDS (www.ahdi.org).

The use of medical scribes is increasing in various healthcare settings due to growing EHR implementations and the
need for timely, detailed point-of-care documentation.
There are distinct differences between HDS and scribes. HDS professionals work in a "one-way process" while
scri.
Sped Focus Group.m4aJodee [000001] This is a focus group wi.docx
Sped Focus Group.m4a
Jodee: [00:00:01] This is a focus group with the secondary special education teachers. So anybody feel free to chime in and we just talked about the secondary transition plan and theoretical principles of Situation and support. So the first question is How does political correctness influence transition process. So think about some of the terminology that's changed. For example we don't refer to kids with cognitive impairment as being mentally retarded. So how does that PC influence the transition process. And anybody can feel free to speak up if they would like.
TS5: [00:00:49] Well I guess I'll start because I'm probably the least politically correct person around. I think you make an example of the fact of you know you know with. What you can and cannot say Well not everybody is up to date on the current lingo and everybody apparently might may be in denial about where their child is at cognitively when using certain terms they may expect more from their or their child than they're actually capable because we're not using terms of people understand or that people use. Obviously I'm not talking about in a hurtful way but you know I mean I have a student now that he's I guess they went out of their way to label him. You know he has a label of autism. But I keep telling these people on my autism is not his problem his cognitive is his problem as long as that IEP keeps talking about autism then that seems to be the direction of where they want to go with the services. And and I keep saying that autism is not the problem. So that's just my 2 cents on.
Jodee: [00:02:12] How has that worked so far just to kind of pair off your response on that TS5 how has it like you're able to see that it's not the Autism that's a problem. How do you stear that to the correct path and have deal with this and what the kid is capable of doing regarding transition.
Sped5: [00:02:34] Well I was fortunate in this area where I think it was an issue of the mom was in denial that it wasn't all the other teachers were like no. This is what this is what he needs. You know because of the IEP I'm trying to get him. You know support all the time and it's just a matter of when they look at the IEP and says why is it that it will be this and this and I'm like I didn't write the IEPP I didn't put down autism. I'll just tell you what I see now what I have and that's what it is. And so it wasn't until at an an IEP meeting that the other teachers who see them every day too are like no this is where he's at. He needs the support he needs this because of x y z. So you know that's just for example.
Jodee: [00:03:25] Okay TS7 I'm going to kind of put you on the spot on for a minute when we talked a couple of days ago about that one student what were some of the things that you might have encountered in working with the parents on regarding transitioning him. And you know just to give a bit with a bit of background history it was a young man diagnosed with.

SPECIAL ISSUE ON POLITICAL VIOLENCE
Research on Social Movements and Political Violence
Donatella della Porta
Published online: 15 July 2008
# Springer Science + Business Media, LLC 2008
Abstract Attention to extreme forms of political violence in the social sciences has been
episodic, and studies of different forms of political violence have followed different
approaches, with “breakdown” theories mostly used for the analysis of right-wing radicalism,
social movement theories sometimes adapted to research on left-wing radical groups, and
area study specialists focusing on ethnic and religious forms. Some of the studies on extreme
forms of political violence that have emerged within the social movement tradition have
nevertheless been able to trace processes of conflict escalation through the detailed exam-
ination of historical cases. This article assesses some of the knowledge acquired in previous
research approaching issues of political violence from the social movement perspective, as
well as the challenges coming from new waves of debate on terrorist and counterterrorist
action and discourses. In doing this, the article reviews contributions coming from research
looking at violence as escalation of action repertoires within protest cycles; political
opportunity and the state in escalation processes; resource mobilization and violent
organizations; narratives of violence; and militant constructions of external reality.
Keywords Political violence . Social movements
Attention to extreme forms of political violence in the social sciences has been episodic, with
some peaks in periods of high visibility of terrorist attacks, but little accumulation of results.
There are several reasons for this. First, some of the research has been considered to be more
oriented towards developing antiterrorist policies than to a social science understanding of the
phenomenon. In fact, “many who have written about terrorism have been directly or indirectly
involved in the business of counterterrorism, and their vision has been narrowed and distorted
by the search for effective responses to terrorism…. [S]ocial movement scholars, with very few
exceptions, have said little about terrorism” (Goodwin 2004, p. 259). Second, studies of
different forms of political violence have followed different approaches, with “breakdown”
theories mostly used for the analysis of right-wing radicalism, social movement theories
sometimes adapted to research on left-wing radical groups, and area study specialists focusing
on ethnic and religious forms. Third, and most fundamentally, there has been a tendency to reify

SPECIAL ISSUE CRITICAL REALISM IN IS RESEARCHCRITICAL RE.docx
This document provides an introduction to critical realism as a philosophy and framework for information systems research. It discusses the key concepts of critical realism such as the ontological view that an objective reality exists independently of our knowledge, and the stratified view of reality consisting of the real, actual, and empirical domains. Critical realism supports methodological pluralism using a variety of quantitative and qualitative methods to study different types of objects. The document also discusses how critical realism has been applied in social science research, focusing on the work of Margaret Archer and Tony Lawson in developing critical realist approaches within their fields.

Although substance abuse and education appear to exhibit a circular relationship, it is alleged that education is a key intervention point for preventing substance abuse. Learners who consume drugs may suffer short-term memory impairment together with many other intellectual faculties. It may also lead to impaired tracking capabilities for perceptual and sensory functions. It may also translate into negative social and emotional development which ultimately leads to impaired performance in classrooms.

In the U.S, visits to emergency rooms associated with substance use in 1995 were approximately 532,000 and an increment from 404,000 that was recorded in 1988. The increment translates into 30%. This was a clear demonstration of the magnitude of substance-related health issues for addicted persons together with society as a whole. This revealed that the society was burdened with high expenditures on health attributed to substance use. The substances that are often linked to illicit drug-related demises include cocaine, heroin including other opiates, amphetamine, and barbiturates stimulant types as well as methamphetamine. The dosage of some of these substances determines their impacts on the health of the users. Most of them do not directly cause deaths but are linked to fatal accidents. According to Interpol tobacco and alcohol are associated with around 5 million deaths annually. On the other hand, deaths relating to drug injections amount to not more than 200,000 annually across the globe (p. 31). Despite the fact that mortality risks from the consumption of unlawful substances is an issue of concern, it can be deduced that that the present mechanisms for the control of drugs that is prevention, education the enforcement of the law, though incapable of preventing mortality related to substance abuse, appears to have prevented the actual numbers of mortalities related with substance abuse, from hitting levels presently being experienced with the consumption of lawful psychoactive substances.

The greater part of the drug was clutched in the Middle East and Near and SW Asia that represented 30% of the worldwide aggregate, SE Europe 24% and Central and Western Europe 10%. The worldwide increment in the drug captures between 2006 and 2008 was driven predominantly by progressively increasing captures in Turkey and Iran. In the year 2008, the two nations represented the greater part of international heroin captures hence registering for the third back to back year, the most elevated and second most noteworthy seizures across the globe, correspondingly. In the years 2007 and 2008, cocaine was utilized by somewhere in the range of 16 to 17 million people all over the globe, like the number of overall opiate consumers. North America represented over 40% of worldwide cocaine use with the aggregate assessed at around 470 tons, whereas the four European Free Trade Association and the 27 European Union nations represented in excess of a fourth of the total utilization. These two areas represent over 80% of the complete estimation of the worldwide cocaine markets, which was assessed at $88 billion in the year 2008. This source significantly contributes to the solution of international trafficking menace by offering a room for future projections.
