FRANÇAIS :
Etude préliminaire sur l'apparition du crack. Comparaison entre le crack et la cocaïne. Statistiques sur la consommation de crack et sur le lien entre crack, criminalité et violence. Quelques conclusions : 1) dans la population générale le crack semble peu répandu, mais reste la drogue préférée de la population juvénile. 2) consommation de crack et implication dans le trafic du crack sont fortement liées. ENGLISH: How many of us can remember the more newsworthy events of 1986? There were many, with some standing out more prominently than others. Perhaps most notably, although the number of Americans smoking, snorting, swallowing, sniffing, shooting, or otherwise ingesting one drug or another had not changed dramatically that year, the national media fully discovered crack-cocaine in the late spring of 1986. For Newsweek, crack became the biggest story since Vietnam and the fall of the Nixon presidency; other media giants compared the spread of crack with the plagues of medieval Europe. By the end of 1986, the major dailies and weekly news magazines had served the Nation more than one thousand stories in which crack figured prominently. Not to be outdone, network television offered hundreds of reports on drug abuse, capped by CBS's 48 Hours on Crack Street, a prime-time presentation that became one of the highest rated documentaries in the history of television. For the majority of us working in the drug field, crack was not a particularly new drug. Many of us had been hearing about it for years. In fact, a number of us remembered its introduction almost two decades ago. And importantly, while the media was taking credit for the discovery of crack as the new "flavor-of-the-month" drug, a few of us had long since initiated systematic study of the drug. Within the context of these opening remarks and observations, my intention here is to briefly review the nature and history of crack-cocaine, followed by a preliminary analysis of crack use among a cohort of juvenile drug users in Miami, Florida.
