“…This is not to deny that ‘tik’ is dangerous and damaging, or that it may play a causal role in exacerbating at least some of these problems. This article argues that the stereotypical discourses and constructions used by the media (a) do not serve to represent the far more complex reality of drug use in the country, and (b) frequently encourage moral condemnation, blame and stigma, the result of which limits or prevents effective reduction or rehabilitation efforts (Gough, 2012). As such, while this paper may be critical of the way in which the use and users of ‘tik’ have been articulated and positioned, it is not an attempt to justify or mitigate the harm that the production, distribution, and use of the drug can cause.…”

‘We have to start showing who is boss now’: Constructing methamphetamine use and users in the South African print media

This paper critically engages with media representations of the use and users of methamphetamine, or 'tik', in South Africa. It makes two primary claims. First, the paper argues that the media has drawn on the themes of criminality, pathology and victimhood in articulating the 'tik' phenomenon. Second, it is argued that these themes intersect with much deeper discourses, discourses that are especially pertinent to the South African context -such as race, sex and HIV/AIDS -in order to make meaning. The resulting moral framework encourages punitive approaches to the regulation of 'tik', while undermining reductive or rehabilitation-orientated regulation strategies. This occurs despite punitive efforts having never been consistently effective in the country. Consequently, the paper argues that media constructions of 'tik' oversimplify a complex socio-political, economic and historically rooted phenomenon, frequently encouraging stigma and the exclusion of the 'tik' user from society. This not only prevents more effective measures being thought possible, but frequently also serves to exclude those who already live at the very margins of society.

“…Following the disastrous defeat at the battle of Stirling Bridge, and with the king campaigning in Flanders, the earls had broken with custom and contracted with the government to raise troops in return for a lump sum from the exchequer. 17 The letters of protection give just seventy-eight names of the 450 men-at-arms that the earls had contracted to raise, including only nine of the ninety that the earl of Hereford promised. 18 The sources clearly do not offer us an accurate picture of the size of the earls' retinues, so how far they met their obligations is unknown and unknowable.…”

This article offers a detailed examination of the military retinues of the earls during Edward I's wars in the twelve-nineties and early thirteen-hundreds. While work has been done on the English armies in the Hundred Years' War, military retinues in Edward I's reign, the first for which voluminous records survive, have been largely neglected.The article discusses the sources available, analyses the various ways in which the earls created their military followings and argues that continuity of service was much greater than has previously been imagined. Such findings have important implications both for studies of the nobility in the late thirteenth century and for work on military retinues in the Hundred Years' War.From the outbreak of war with France in 1294 until Edward I's death in July 1307, the English fought thirteen campaigns in Wales, Scotland, Gascony and Flanders. 1 This contrasted with the first twenty-two years of the reign when just three campaigns took place, and meant that, to an unprecedented extent, a significant proportion of the most influential men in England were involved in regular military activity. 2 Continual service in the king's wars forced the magnates to recruit large numbers of men to serve with them more frequently than ever before. A bureaucratic change among the chancery clerks means that, for the first time, we are able to identify the names of many of those recruited by the magnates, and it provides us with the opportunity of forming a partial, if frustratingly incomplete, picture of how these military retinues were created. 3 In his early work, K. B. McFarlane had regarded the wars of Edward I as the key catalyst in the development of the indentured retainer, a view that he and others subsequently revised, coming instead to see retaining as something driven by lords'

The aim of this review is to determine roles of social workers in mental healthcare teams. This study used a systematic type of literature review in meeting its objective. It involved an online search of articles published in the ProQuest Central database. The search strategy involved retrieving articles using the key words ‘Social Worker’ AND ‘Mental health care’ from the ProQuest Thesaurus. A total of 47 articles were retrieved from the ProQuest database. After screening and conducting an eligibility test, a total of 37 articles were excluded from the study for failing to meet the study inclusion criteria. We included articles that; were published in the English language from 2015 to 2020, outlined roles of social workers in mental healthcare teams, and had verifiable scientific procedures. The remaining 10 articles were subjected to content analysis after fulfilling all inclusion criteria set for the study. From the results of content analysis of the 10 articles, Four (4) articles showed that roles of social workers in mental healthcare teams were those of social support facilitators, three (3) articles showed that their roles were those of social rehabilitation specialists, two (2) articles indicated that they played roles of social reintegration specialists, while one (1) article showed that their roles were those case managers. We concluded that in mental healthcare teams, social workers play roles of social support facilitators, social rehabilitation therapists, social reintegration specialists, and case managers.
