Putting a price on drugs: An economic sociological study of price formation in illegal drug markets

Prices in illegal drug markets are difficult to predict. Based on qualitative interviews with 68 incarcerated drug dealers in Norway, we explore dealers’ perspectives on fair prices and the processes that influence their pricing decisions. Synthesized through economic sociology, we draw on perspectives from traditions as different as behavioral economics and cultural analysis to demonstrate how participants in illicit drug distribution base their pricing decisions on institutional context, social networks, and drug market cultures. We find that dealers take institutional constraints into consideration and search for niches with high earnings and low risks. The use of transactions embedded in social networks promotes a trusting form of governance, which enables strategic network management and expedient distribution but also uncompetitive pricing. Finally, dealers’ pricing decisions are embedded in three different cultures narratives: business, friendship, and street cultural stories, with widely varying implications for prices. Our findings demonstrate how an economic sociology of illicit drug distribution can extend insights from behavioral economics and cultural studies into a coherent criminology of illegal drug markets.     

职业生涯规划视阀中警队代际转承机制研究 ——以NT市为考察对象

从静态个体,考察现行公安民警职业生涯规划中存在时间分期不合理、主体未做类型化区分、经验分类习得研究不深入、内部转岗后时期如何计算和职业生涯后期时间划分标准不明确等问题。应从动态整体,重构警队代际转承机制,厘定职业生涯规划分期的不同阶段。通常90后、80后、70后、60后民警分别对应职业生涯早期适应期、早中提高期、晚中成熟期和后期临近退休期。

A Case of Nonfatal Intoxication Associated with the Recreational use of Diphenidine

Diphenidine is a dissociative drug that shows several psychotropic effects including euphoria, shifts in perception of reality, hallucinations, and transient anterograde amnesia. In this study, a case of acute intoxication occurring after diphenidine intake is reported. A 30‐year‐old Caucasian male was hospitalized after he was found in a confused and agitated state and unable to communicate. The physical examination displayed tachycardia, miotic pupils, and increased both body temperature and respiratory rate. After a liquid–liquid extraction procedure, GC/MS analysis revealed the presence of diphenidine in plasma and urine at concentrations of 308 and 631 ng/mL, respectively. Methylphenidate and diclazepam were also detected in the plasma. The clinical progress of the patient was favorable, and his symptoms were cured with a symptomatic treatment. The combined circumstantial elements and toxicological results of the case reported revealed the occurrence of an acute intoxication ascribable to the recreational abuse of diphenidine.

"纵横统一论"科学价值之理性反思

经济法是20世纪法律体系适应社会本位思潮的一大创新.然而,经济法从其诞生之日起便颇受争议,不仅受到相邻法律部门的猛烈攻击,其学科内部也是学说纷纭.其中,发端于前苏联,以B·B·拉普捷夫为代表的"纵横统一论"经济法理论影响最大,所受争议也最多,甚至被全盘否定.本文从介绍"纵横统一论"入手,力图揭示"纵横统一论"之科学内涵,并对其理论和实践价值予以重新定位,以期推动我国经济法学科建设,促进我国经济发展.
