Abstract:
This thesis seeks to investigate an area that has been largely neglected in academic
criminological study, namely the impact of drug markets and drug law enforcement
strategies on local communities. In order to develop an understanding about community
impact, empirical research was carried out within three particular local communities in
Ireland; two sites in urban areas and one in a suburban area. These sites varied
considerably in terms of population and geographic location. The basic selection criteria
were that the areas should be sufficiently varied to provide a cross section of illicit drug
markets in Ireland. The electoral divisions (ED) within the study sites chosen were those
where deprivation levels were high (based on proportion of over-15s unemployed,
proportion of population in social class 5 [Semi-skilled] or 6 [Unskilled], proportion of
households with no car and proportion of rented or local authority housing).
