History of Substance Abuse and Drug Abuse Statistics in UK

The use and abuse of illegal drugs is a huge problem around the world, even if stricter and stronger drug abuse policies are being practiced. This rings especially true in the United Kingdom, where a recent report released by St George’s University of London revealed that drug-related deaths have risen by as much as 11.8 percent in the United Kingdom. The report, which gathered information from experts in England, Wales, Northern Ireland, Guernsey, Jersey, the Isle of Man and Scotland, showed that 1,952 deaths were reported in 2008. This rose to 2,182 deaths in 2009.

But to understand (and possibly help curb) the drug abuse problem in the United Kingdom, we first have to look at how illegal drugs made its way to this country, as well as how drug abuse statistics have risen over the years.

Relationship between delinquent behaviors and parenting styles

Studies conducted have indicated that, there is an association between parenting styles and delinquency. On this basis, delinquency can be generally defined as the failure of doing what is required by the law or norms in a society. In connection to this, examples of delinquent behaviors include; immorality, cheating, irresponsibility, alcoholism, cheating, stealing, and fighting (aggression). In this relation, researches have shown that harsh parenting styles like discipline practices are associated with worse results such as delinquency and aggression (Craig & Bushman, 2002). It is of importance to note that, the child’s complicated conducts influence parent’s punitive strategies leading to harsher and conflicting punishments and hence less participation of the parent in the child’s socialization. In this relation, this negative child-parent socialization strategy jeopardizes a child to delinquent behaviors that starts at their early teenage and persist far into the adulthood. On the other hand, studies have shown that children of single parents are at a higher risk of delinquent behaviors than those of both parents (Craig & Bushman, 2002).

On the basis of parenting styles, they are of different types which include; authoritative, authoritarian, permissive, and neglecting. From these examples, parenting styles can be defined as patterns of approaches and conducts of parents towards their children which create a situation of parents’ behavior. A point worth noting is that, authoritative behaviors have positive influences on child’s conducts while all the others place a child at a better position for delinquent conducts (Mears & Field, 2002). On this basis, the parents lay down logical rules and guidelines for the children to follow; but they are not inflexible in their discipline bearing in mind that there can be exceptions to the rules. In this relation, parents discuss with their children on the way these rules will be followed and why as well as listening to their feeling about them. In this case, the parents will amend their rules if a logical reason for doing so is given by the children. Since the parents are always in control, children respect them and hence chances of them turning to delinquent behaviors are very minimal (Mears & Field, 2002).
