Internet Resources for Sociologists

(See New Additions to Cybersociology, Society and Technology, Sociology, Deviance, and Drugs!)

This page is a mixture of a variety of WWW links which should be of use to sociologists. Many of the links are ones that I have recorded over the past three years of "surfing the web."  Credit for this page is also due the WWW Virtual Library: Sociology, which is compiled and maintained by Dr. Samuel Brown, from which I have taken many links. This page was last updated on Wednesday, October 25, 2006 3:56 PM .   This is a CyberStudies Resources site.

Legalisation: The First Hundred Years: What happened when drugs were legal and why they were prohibited
by Mike Jay
Today, as the notion of legalising drugs is making its way into the mainstream political agenda for the first time in living memory, one of the most common objections to it is that it represents a high-risk experiment whose outcome cannot be accurately modelled or predicted. Yet within the context of history, the opposite is true: it is the prohibition of drugs which is the bold experiment without precedent. A hundred years ago, any of us could have walked into our high street chemist and bought cannabis or cocaine, morphine or heroin over the counter. At this point, mind-altering drugs had been freely available throughout history and across almost every culture, and their prohibition, pressed forward largely by the goal of eliminating alcohol from modern societies, was a radical break with the traditional wisdom of public policy.
