A partir do resultado de estudos desenvolvidos pelo CETAD/UFBA, o livro desmistifica concepções recorrentes na mídia e na própria Clínica Médica sobre o consumo e o consumidor de drogas, como a de que o crack, pelo seu alto potencial de destruição, levaria o usuário à morte em poucos anos. A proposta do livro é multidisciplinar e envolve áreas como a socioantropologia, psiquiatria, psicologia além do trabalho de redução de riscos e danos com usuários.

Randol Contreras came of age in the South Bronx during the 1980's, a time when the community was devastated by cuts in social services, a rise in arson and abandonment, and the rise of crack-cocaine. For this riveting book, he returns to the South Bronx with a sociological eye and provides an unprecedented insider's look at the workings of a group of Dominican drug robbers. Known on the streets as "Stickup Kids," these men raided and brutally tortured drug dealers storing large amounts of heroin, cocaine, marijuana, and cash. As a participant observer, Randol Contreras offers both a personal and theoretical account for the rise of the Stickup Kids and their violence. He mainly focuses on the lives of neighborhood friends, who went from being crack dealers to drug robbers once their lucrative crack market opportunities disappeared. The result is a stunning, vivid, on-the-ground ethnographic description of a drug robbery's violence, the drug market high life, the criminal life course, and the eventual pain and suffering experienced by the casualties of the Crack Era. Provocative and eye-opening, The Stickup Kids urges us to explore the ravages of the drug trade through weaving history, biography, social structure, and drug market forces. It offers a revelatory explanation for drug market violence by masterfully uncovering the hidden social forces that produce violent and self-destructive individuals. Part memoir, part penetrating analysis, this book is engaging, personal, deeply informed, and entirely absorbing.

O crack é uma droga de rápida absorção que causa impacto instantâneo na saúde global dos usuários e provoca comprometimento clínico e psiquiátrico. Este livro aborda o consumo da droga por crianças e adolescentes e as consequências que sofrem devido ao uso da substância por pais ou responsáveis. A obra reúne dez capítulos e tem por base os resultados de duas pesquisas realizadas pela Fundação Oswaldo Cruz. Os autores atuam em diferentes campos de conhecimento e dão à obra uma visão interdisciplinar sobre o assunto. Eles buscaram identificar quantos e quem são esses jovens indivíduos e traçar um perfil deles, além de refletir sobre as formas de atenção existentes em algumas cidades brasileiras. Para a organizadora, o crack é um problema de saúde pública que afeta diversas famílias brasileiras, “mais pelos impactantes efeitos provocados nos indivíduos e na sociedade, do que necessariamente pelos números alcançados. Nos estudos que aferem prevalência existente no país, o uso do crack tende a atingir algo em torno de 1% da população em geral, enquanto outros problemas como, por exemplo, o uso de álcool, abrangem proporções muito maiores”.
