Document Summary
Becker becoming a marijuana user: pleasure principles. There is link to classical criminology: for pleasure, must learn: Pawson et al becoming a prescription pill smoker: beyond biomedical lens of drug use and escalation, extension of becker"s work emphasis on learning. Social interactions = critical to learning process: peer interactions remain key to learning in new study on smoking prescription pills. Not only initiation (becker) but also escalation. Focusing on escalation rather than learning: perceived pleasure for some users, exceptions perceived stigma- discontinued. Discussion of becker and pawson et al: based on your experience and observations, is peer interaction an essential to learning. Yes it does, friends encourage you to do what they do, you learn from them. If you were alone and not interacting with others, you would not feel the pull to do certain things, like try new drugs and other deviant actions.
