Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
L'équipe de recherche "de rue" se compose de quelques anciens toxicomanes et d'un superviseur, formés aux méthodes des sciences sociales et de l'ethnographie. Leur connaissance du milieu facilite la collecte des informations. Cette équipe est devenu absolument indispensable. Quelques unes des méthodes employées sont décrites ici. [Résumé Toxibase]
ENGLISH :
The Street Research Unit consists of a supervisor and several carefully selected researchers who have had a history of drug abuse. Their supervisor has trained them in social science methods and ethnographic techniques. The researchers' own knowledge of street language and drug behavior has enabled them to capture information that would escape most observers and even some participants. There is no better way to gather current information on drug activity on the streets of New York City. The paper traces the history of the Unit, discusses some methods that are used, describes the studies that have been conducted, and summarizes what works, what does not work in this type of ethnography, and the plans for the future.
