During the last three or four years, Danish drug policy has been reversed from liberal to more repressive, especially in 2003, when the Danish liberal±conservative government that had been in oce since 2001 launched their ocial policy on drugs, The Fight Against Drugs: action plan against drug misuse. This action plan emphasised a more repressive drug policy in which priority was given to law enforcement, although an expansion of treatment facilities and prevention initiatives was also planned. The overall aim was to tighten the laws on drug dealing and drug use and to increase the penalties for these oences. The plan explicitly stated that the policy was to take a zero tolerance approach towards any kind of drug dealing. The fact that the liberal±conservative wing of the Danish parliament holds this attitude is not new. Storgaard argues that the dierent drug control policies of this wing (which do not dierentiate between users and dealers, or between `hard' and `soft' drugs) and the centre-left (which do) have been a battle®eld in Danish drug policy for the past 30 years. The centre-left wing, headed by the Social Democratic Party, dominated Danish drug policy until 2001, when the present liberal±conservative government came into oce. Although the Social Democratic Party did tighten some aspects of their drug policy, whether they would have continued to do so to the extent that the liberal±conservatives subsequently did is a matter for speculation. One aspect of the present government's more repressive drug policy was to crack down on cannabis dealing as well as cannabis use.

SUMMARY Despite a growing literature on race differences in drug use, few studies have offered theoretical explanations for their existence. In light of this limitation, this paper describes a conceptual framework for understanding race differences in adolescent and young adult drug use. The central argument of the paper is that in order for researchers to understand race differences in drug use outcomes, developmental processes, and mean level differences on antecedent influences on drug use, they must understand the ways in which social systems influence individual, interpersonal, and community level risk and protective mechanisms that are linked to race and that, in turn, are responsible for racial variation in drug use.

SUMMARY This study examines the levels of and temporal trends in HIV-related characteristics among 169 women crack users recruited from South Philadelphia, PA over a two and one-half year period (January 1992-June 1994). Baseline data were collected as part of a five year, multi-site HIV intervention research project funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse. The majority of the women were African American, had less than a high school education and were receiving public assistance. A high proportion of women continued to engage in high risk behaviors with no significant change over time. A seroprevalence rate of 7% was observed among the women who elected to take the project's confidential HIV antibody test (73%). Implications for the need for drug treatment and HIV risk reduction interventions are discussed.

SUMMARY In recent years, increasing emphasis has been placed on race, ethnicity and culture as they relate to recruitment into and retention in substance abuse treatment as well as treatment effectiveness. Racial/ethnic and cultural differences were studied among women participating in two programs located within a large southwestern city. One of these programs was residential treatment for drug-using women and the other program provided street outreach for HIV prevention/education to drug-using women. Significant differences were found among racial/ethnic groups within each program and between the two programs. Differences were explored for the following factors: marital status; education; age at entry into the program; drug use history; drug treatment history; current use patterns; injection rates; history of arrests and exchange of sex for drugs. The authors conclude with a discussion of these differences and their potential ramifications for conducting future research and in developing/implementing ef...
