商品簡介
This case study concerns two street junkies whose fortunes improve over a period of several years as they begin selling heroin and start managing this activity as a successful business. The study illustrates that highly visible projects, such as urban renewal and the war on drugs, have no effect on the invisible activity of drug dealing and its customer base. Hoffer (epidemiology and prevention research, Washington U. School of Medicine) explores a range of topics through his narrative, including the impact of heroin dealing on users' beliefs and behaviors.
