“…With these criteria, it was found that 3.45% of the adolescents showed subthreshold BDD symptomatology, and therefore, were at risk of this disorder. This percentage is similar to what was reported by Schneider et al () who found that 3.4% of Australian adolescents of both sexes had subthreshold BDD symptoms, but lower than the 9% found by Mastro et al () and 7.4% identified by Longley et al (), who based it on a single test for detecting risk of BDD and was probably overestimated.…”

Dysmorphic concern and behavioural impairment related to body image in adolescents

This study examined a moderated mediation model testing whether dysmorphic concern is related to behaviour altered to change appearance. This relationship is potentially mediated by depressive symptomatology (dysphoria and self‐esteem) and ideas of reference about “laughing, commenting” and “attention, appearance,” and each mediated relationship moderated by sex. The sample was made up of 3377 adolescents from 12 to 18 years old (Mage = 14.52; SD = 1.65, 56.5% girls). The results showed that dysphoria and ideas of reference about “laughing, commenting” and “attention, appearance” partially mediated the relationship between dysmorphic concern and behavioural impairment related to body image. The relationship with dysphoria was moderated by sex, such that the mediation effect was stronger in girls than in boys. This result implies that girls who are worried about some characteristic of their appearance and show dysphoria are at greater risk of altered behaviour involving avoidance or controlling their appearance than boys. In addition, a possible risk of body dysmorphic disorder (3.45% of the sample) was found, with very prominent hiding behaviour using clothing or control behaviours, such as frequent weighing and looking at oneself in the mirror too much. Implications of these findings are discussed.

“…Heroin, just like cocaine is smuggled into Europe using obscured techniques; there are many common ways such as taping the drugs to the body in bags and then hiding these bags with garments-this technique is mainly used to smuggle drugs through an airport.

[57][58][59][60][61][62][63] Even chess boards have been used to disguise and hide the heroin, in 2014; £550,000 worth of 100% purity heroin was discovered inside the fabric of 10 board games.…”

Class A drugs are very potent substances with lethal side effects; they are considered the most dangerous of illicit drugs. The crime rate over the past decade has shown a rise and fall in the quantity of crimes committed due to drugs. Illegal drug traffickers, smuggling heroin, cocaine and other substances into the UK, Europe and U.S; are enticing more younger adolescents to join the craze. These traffickers conceal and manipulate their way into countries such as the UK where demand is always expanding. This paper will explore whether or not drugs, specifically Class A have an effect on the crime rate. In this paper, results are shown to indicate a minor positive correlation between the relationship of drugs and the crime rate; there is still a large proportion of uncertainty on the title at present. This review provides an outline of the typical users of drugs, how cocaine and heroin is trafficked into Europe and data concerning the link between drugs and the ever-rising crime rate.
