SUBSTANCE USE‐INDUCED DIMINUTION OF VIOLENCE: A COUNTERVAILING EFFECT IN LONGITUDINAL PERSPECTIVE*

Although the literature supports a positive association between substance use and violence, scattered reports suggest a basis for predicting an inverse relationship. Using panel data (N = 2, 222) from subjects tested during early adolescence and three years later, we estimate structural equation models that specify within‐wave relationships between substance use and violence constructs, stability of these constructs over time, and lagged effects of each construct on the other. As hypothesized, net of the within‐wave positive relationships, substance use was inversely related to later violence. The findings support theoretical orientations that accommodate motivation to use substances to assuage distressful self‐feelings (including those that instigate violence).     

Methodological Considerations Affecting the Initiation and Utilization of Program Evaluation

This article addresses the methodological issues affecting the degree to which program evaluations are initiated and utilized. The problems associated with traditional program evaluations that have been conducted in the United States are presented, and alternative procedures are suggested which may serve to increase the efficacy of future evaluations performed within industrialized nations. The article is based on a paper presented at the International Symposium on Sociological Perspectives on Delinquency Prevention in 1981 at Wuppertal Germany; financial support provided by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinshaft (German Science Foundation).     

Has the Financial Crisis Killed Consumerism?

As the global financial crisis emanating from the United States shuts down world markets, can globalization survive? Will the resurgent intrusion of the state—and thus politics—into the market lead to protectionism and collapse, as was the case in the early 20th century? Or will the new interconnectivity of climate change and mutual economic dependence—especially between China and the US—deepen global links? The former mayor of Shanghai, legendary Nobel economist Paul Samuelson and Third Way guru Anthony Giddens ponder those questions in this section.
