This book analyzes heroin users and the drug subculture on the
Shetland Islands, an area known for its geographical remoteness,
rural character and relative wealth. It fills the scientific gap
created by the conventional research in heroin research, which is
usually conducted in urban areas and relies on treatment and prison
populations. Based on qualitative, in-depth interviews with
twenty-four heroin users, this book depicts and analyzes the nature
and historical development of the local heroin scene. It
illustrates the features and internal structures of the subculture,
and it examines the manner in which both are influenced by the
location-specific geographical, cultural and socio-economic
conditions. It thus reveals complex causal associations that are
hard to recognize in urban environments. Complete with a list of
references used and recommendations for future research, this book
is a vital tool for progressive and pragmatic approaches to policy,
intervention and research in the field of illicit drug use.
