Book Description
La thèse présente les contextes de mise en place de la Réduction des Risques en France, Espagne et Angleterre et documente les impacts de cette politique sur le nombre d’ overdoses d’héroïne et la prévalence du VIH et du VHC chez les usagers de drogues par voie intraveineuse (UDIV). L’introduction des traitements de substitution a été suivie d’une réduction du nombre de décès par overdose d’héroïne en France et en Espagne. L’impact a été différé en Angleterre. Un cadre trop lâche de la prescription de méthadone dans ce pays et une supervision insuffisante, au moins jusqu’en 2000, ont nuit à l’efficacité des traitements. La prévalence du VHC reste très élevée chez les UDIV. En revanche, les traitements de substitution et une meilleure accessibilité au matériel d’injection stérile semblent aussi avoir eu un impact déterminant dans lutte contre la propagation du VIH, particulièrement en Angleterre où la distribution de seringues a été massive et gratuite dès le début de l’épidémie.

Book Description
Leading experts review the research on resilience and represent the diverse perspectives and opinions found among both scientists and practitioners in the field. Although the chapters are written to the standards expected by researchers, they are equally useful for program developers and others in applied fields seeking science-based information on the topic. This book is a unique resource in keeping with the growing interest in resilience both in research and interventions.

Book Description
Researchers at Minneapolis-based Search Institute have identified 40 Developmental Assets that all kids need in their lives—good things like family support, a caring neighborhood, and resistance skills. Communities across the nation have embraced the book’s quick-read, commonsense suggestions for helping kids lead healthy, productive, positive lives and stay out of trouble. This revised and updated third edition draws on findings from a 2010 survey of about 90,000 kids (grades 6–12) from communities across the United States. The new data confirms the power of Developmental Assets in young people’s lives, reflecting updated levels of assets young people experience as well as the power that assets have to prevent high-risk behaviors and increase thriving behaviors.

Book Description
The environment within which humans interact has changed dramatically since the Industrial Revolution. However, their expectations stem from the same hopes and dreams people have had from the beginning of humankind. When Men Revolt and Why encourages readers to look closer and more deeply into the relationships between humans and the institutions that have originated to help them realize their full potential. The contributors not only examine people, but also the need to change institutions that have outworn their usefulness. When institutions inhibit rather than facilitate everyone's desire to live a full life, the result is likely to be violence. This book offers the ideas of many people who have tried to dig deeper into basic causes of violence. Included in this volume are selections by Aristotle, Tocqueville./Marx and Engels, and Brinton. The ideas they espoused still hold vitality. In his new introduction, James Davies talks about the circumstances under which this book was originally published. In Vietnam, a people were fighting for their autonomy. In the United States, many Americans were protesting against American involvement in the Vietnam War. Blacks were marching for their civil rights. Women were fighting for equality. Time has tempered these conflicts. Davies maintains that we remain ignorant of the elemental forces that impel people and nations to resort to violence. We are usually surprised by their anger and shocked by their violence. Davies asserts that we need to learn more about how humans respond to change so as to prepare ourselves for such responses to change. When Men Revolt and Why is as timely as ever as we deal with uncertainty in various areas of the worldâ the former Yugoslavia, the Middle East, and Ireland, among others. It is especially pertinent for political scientists, historians, and sociologists.
