Recent research has provided very strong circumstantial evidence of the existence of neighbourhood effects in voting patterns at recent UK general elections. The usual reason adduced to account for these spatial variations is the neighbourhood effect. This hypothesises that people are influenced in their decisionmaking and behavioural patterns by their neighbours, with interpersonal conversation being the main means of transmitting such influence. Although there is an increasing body of evidence showing the impact of such conversations—that people who talk together, vote together—relatively little of this has grounded the geography of such conversations in the individuals' local neighbourhoods. Those who interact locally should show more evidence of ‘neighbourhood-effect-like’ patterns than those who do not. To inquire whether this is indeed so, this paper extends recent work on voting patterns in the United Kingdom by investigating the behaviour of individuals with different levels of participation in their local milieux—what we define below as neighbourhood social capital.

Teenagers And Young Adults

In the September 1992 issue of Pediatrics in Review in which the article on drugs of abuse (amphetamine and methamphetamine) appeared, Dr John Morgan failed to mention MDMA (3,4 methylenedioxymetham-phetamine), a substituted methamphetamine designer drug with hallucinogenic properties, known by its popular name "ecstasy" on XTC. MDMA is used with some frequency by college students (2.3% of college students took the drug in 1990). It is a prevalent drug of abuse in the United Kingdom, where it is ingested by teenagers and young adults who attend popular dance halls known as "The Rave." It is also a drug of growing importance among youth in New York City where The Rave has introduced.
