Differential Relationship

La asociación entre conducta delictiva y adictiva ha sido debatida en muchos estudios, sin que hoy pueda establecerse una dirección causal. El comportamiento desviado de los individuos es producto de la interrelación de varios elementos de riesgo que hacen más probable su aparición. Uno de estos factores es el consumo de drogas, que a su vez va a estar relacionado a la historia de vida de la persona. Por tanto, este estudio se centra en conocer el uso y abuso que una muestra de internos penitenciarios hace de algunas sustancias, tanto legales como ilegales, y la diferencia en relación con el nivel de reincidencia delictiva, teniendo en cuenta los factores de la edad de su primer ingreso en prisión y el tipo de delito cometido, refiriendo el motivo asociado de ingreso en el establecimiento Penitenciario. Los participantes fueron 157 reclusos del establecimiento penitenciario de Villabona (Asturias), en su mayoría varones (94,9%), cuyas edades abarcan el rango entre 19 y 49 años. En virtud de los resultados, se ha comprobado que la reincidencia se asocia positivamente con el consumo de heroína en aquellos delitos relacionados con la salud pública y la propiedad, siendo en este último significativo los ingresos en el Establecimiento Penitenciario a una edad más temprana. Se discuten las implicaciones de los resultados para lograr una adaptación competente buscando una reducción de la actividad delictiva y su reincidencia.  Abstract The association between criminal and addictive conduct has been debated in many studies, without today a causal direction could be established. The behavior turned aside from the individuals is a product of the interrelationship of several elements of risk that make his appearance more probable. One of these factors is the consumption of drugs, which in turn is going to be related to the history of life of the person. Therefore, this study centres on knowing the use and abuse that a sample of penitentiary boarders does of some substances, both legal and illegal, and the difference in relation with the level of criminal repetition, having in it counts the factors of the age of his first revenue in prison and the type of committed crime, indicating the associate motive of revenue in the Penitentiary establishment. The participants were 157 prisoners of Villabona’s penitentiary establishment (Asturias), in the main males (94,9 %), whose ages include the range between 19 and 49 years. By virtue of the results, there has been verified that the repetition associates positively with the heroine’s consumption in those crimes related to the public health and the property, being in the latter significantly the income in the Penitentiary Establishment to an earlier age. The implications of the results are discussed to achieve a competent adjustment looking for a reduction of the criminal activity and his repetition.

The article examines the tradition of formation of the concepts “family” (famille) and “household” (ménage) in the political theory of the French lawyer, Jean Bodin. The article looks into different editions of Six Books of the Commonwealthto explore the connotations of the key concepts and the meaning that Bodin ascribed to them. As secondary sources, Bodin uses the works by Xenophon, Aristotle, Apuleus, and Marcus Junianus Justin, as well as the Corpus Juris Civilis. Bodin examines three different traditions, those of Ancient Greece, Ancient Hebrew, and Ancient Rome. Each of these traditions has its own history of the concepts of the “family” and of the “household”. Bodin refers to ancient traditions for polemics, but eventually offers his own understanding, not only of the concepts of “famille” and “ménage”, but also of the term «République», defined as the Republic, a term that (with some reservations) refers to the modern notion of state. The very fact that these concepts are being used signifies the division of the political space into the spheres of the private and the public. Furthermore, the concepts of the “family” and of the “household” are key to understand the essence of sovereignty as the supreme authority in the Republic. The author concludes that the difference between Bodin’s concepts of the “family” and the “household” lies not only in the possession of property and its legal manifestation, but also in the fact that the “household” is seen by Bodin as the basis of the Republic, the first step in the system of subordination to the authority.

People infected with HIV who persist in exposing others to infection through negligent, reckless, or criminal activity create a legal and ethical dilemma for public officials. Protection of the public health requires balancing the rights of infected people with the expectations of society. When reasonable efforts fail to obtain the voluntary cooperation of infected individuals, Colorado law permits health officers to restrict their behaviour. Since 1986, at least 20 people who were aware of their infection are known to have exposed others to HIV in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Restrictive measures have been initiated in 14 cases to date. Presented here is an overview of Colorado law, selected case studies, and a summary of its strengths and shortcomings.

Prescribing of pregabalin is increasing worldwide with public health concerns centering on misuse and abuse of prescribed and diverted pregabalin. To describe and map what is known about misuse and abuse of pregabalin, a scoping review of available published literature was undertaken. A scoping review methodology was used to identify and map available literature on misuse and abuse of prescribed and diverted pregabalin. Four themes emerged on the misuse and abuse of pregabalin: (a) abuse potential, (b) prevalence of abuse, (c) risk and predisposition, and (d) consequences of abuse. Fifty-four records were reviewed and charted. Of note was the dearth of research on the topic prior to 2005, with increased interest in pregabalin abuse potential from 2010 onward. Available literature supports concern around abuse potential of pregabalin, especially among patients with a history of substance abuse. Prescribers should adopt more rational prescribing.
