Résumé :
This current volume represents a timely and interesting assessment of the concept of normalisation in respect of drug use over 20 years after the original thesis was conceived (Measham, Newcombe, & Parker, Aldridge, & Measham, 1994; Parker et al., 1995; Parker, Aldridge, & Measham, 1998). Following the development of the thesis a number of researchers offered critiques of the idea (Ramsay & Partridge, 1999; Shiner & Newburn, 1997; Wibberley & Price, 2000) or argued for more nuanced, or "differentiated" understandings of normalisation (Shildrick, 2002). The original thesis was not only a new conceptualisation of changing patterns of youthful drug use, but was also posited as a "barometer of social change" (Parker et al., 1998) and given the pace and scale of social change over the last 20 years, this is perhaps a good time to re-assess the continued value and relevance of the thesis. This short piece argues firstly, for the importance of the concept of transition as an integral way of understanding the various complex elements of drug normalisation. [Extract]
