“…The concept of recovery has been subject to much debate (Neale et al, 2015;Neale et al, 2014;Paylor, Measham, & Asher, 2012). In 2008, the UK Drug Policy Commission (UKDPC) 5 convened an expert group to reach consensus on what recovery entailed.…”

Long-Term Recovery From Substance Use

This chapter assesses how useful the concept of long-term recovery is for people with chronic health problems (especially those approaching the end of their lives). Drawing on lessons from palliative care, the chapter argues that substance-use policy, commissioning, and practice could become more inclusive by prioritising quality of life and the physical/mental well-being of people using substances, regardless of how close to death they are. Indeed, palliative care is both a medical speciality and a social movement that aims to improve the care of people who are dying by constantly evolving to meet each individual's changing support needs and maximising their quality of life. Ultimately, the core ideas used to develop palliative care complement current thinking about substance-use recovery. The chapter then describes how the concept of recovery could be improved by integrating palliative care approaches within it, thereby achieving a more finely tuned and dynamic balance between health and social care.

“…This is equally applicable to talking about HCV. The lack of guidance exploring the role of social workers in relation to HCV (a notable exception being Paylor, 2009 , 2014 ) may mean that social workers are unsure when to raise the possibility of a test, the kinds of support and information they can provide or how to support people through treatment and beyond (see supplementary data online ).…”

It is now a full decade since Paylor and Orgel (2004) called for social work to ‘wake up’ to hepatitis C (HCV). In that time, a small but significant body of social research has developed which has highlighted the far-reaching social consequences of living with HCV. Using this as a foundation, Paylor and Mack (2010) expanded arguments on the role of social work and identified specific areas where social work might become involved, arguing that the profession is uniquely placed and skilled, to respond and provide support. This article draws on qualitative in-depth interviews with twenty-one people who (had) lived with HCV in the UK, to strengthen and broaden the argument that social work and social care need to urgently take a bigger role in working with people with HCV, given the cross-cutting and wide range of issues that arise. This is the first study which uses participant data to argue for the need for social work involvement and in that it highlights a number of points in the experience where social work support is needed including pre and post diagnosis, whilst on treatment and after treatment.

“…Someone will be willing to do various ways to meet their basic needs, including criminal acts. Paylor and Smith (2010) identified that the main factors that can cause poverty are unemployment, overpopulation, unequal distribution of resources in the global economy, lack of education, and low employment opportunities. The high unemployment rate will affect the crime rate indirectly because, with an increasing population, it will be more difficult for people to find work.…”

Socio-Economic and Property Crime Rate in Indonesia

This study aims to analyze the effects of socio-economic factors (inequality in income distribution, poverty, unemployment, and population) on crime rates in 31 provinces in Indonesia. The article utilizes yearly data published by the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS-Indonesia) from 2013 to 2022. This study examines the socio-economic effects on crime rates using the two-step System Generalized Method of Moments (SYS GMM). The estimation shows that the lag in the number of property crimes positively and significantly affects property crime in Indonesia. This result indicates a dynamic relationship with the property crime rate. Moreover, poverty, unemployment, and total population positively and significantly affect short- and long-run property crime rates. However, the Gini index shows a positive correlation but lacks significance in both short- and long-term effects. These estimation results recommend that efforts be made to alleviate poverty and ensure equitable income distribution. Poverty and inequality reduction need to be pursued by all parties, especially the government, through initiatives aimed at expanding employment opportunities and sustainably empowering the community's economy.
