Описание: When they initiated a war on drugs in 1979, Iran developed a reputation as having some of the world’s harshest drug penalties and as an opponent of efforts to reform global drug policy. As mass incarceration failed to stem the growth of drug use, Iran shifted its policies in 1990 to introduce treatment regimens that focus on rehabilitation. While most Muslim countries and some Western states still do not espouse welfare-oriented measures, Iran has established several harm-reduction centers nationwide through the welfare system for those who use substances. In doing so, Iran moved from labeling drug users as criminals to patients. In Life on Drugs in Iran, Anaraki moves beyond these labels to explore the lived experience of those who use and have used illicit substances and the challenges they face as a result of the state’s shifting policies.Gaining remarkable access to a community that has largely been ignored by researchers, Anaraki chronicles the lives of current and former substance users in prisons, treatment centers, and NGOs. In each setting, individuals are criminalized, medicalized, and marginalized as the system attempts to "normalize" them without addressing the root cause of the problem. Drawing upon first-hand accounts, Anaraki’s groundbreaking study takes an essential step in humanizing people with substance abuse issues in Iran.

As one of the very first women in law enforcement in 1965 in Franklin County, Ohio, Nancy Gene Giles faced challenges in a male-dominated profession, yet managed to follow her own different path even as she encountered all the issues and prejudices of that era.
In her memoir of that formative time, The Accidental Deputy: Navigating the '60s with a Badge: Protests, Guns, Drugs, Men and Chaos, Giles begins her account with stories of her family, and the important examples set by her grandparents, her mother, and especially her father, who in retrospect shaped her for the unexpected law enforcement career from a very young age.
Giles then recounts her service in the Sheriff's Office, including her readiness to say "yes" to becoming a Deputy Sheriff; her experience with police training, including becoming a trainer and learning what effective police training requires; gaining acceptance from her all-male co-workers; and the meaningful mentoring and support she received from the prominent Sheriff, Stacy R. Hall, Sr.
Some of her experiences will make you laugh out loud: her initial training days, buying the department's first uniform with a skirt, driving a huge station wagon fully-marked cruiser, and becoming the first pregnant deputy sheriff. Giles also shares raw and dramatic stories as well, including a rape investigation, a bloody car crash accident, her encounter with a used heroin needle-and the moment a thief aimed his gun directly at her.
By the mid-'60s, Giles and her colleagues faced some of the same challenges we face today, such as chaos on the streets, protests for racial equality, police training on crowd control techniques, and the barriers faced by young women in particular.
