在这篇文章中，作者使用了来自密歇根州底特律市的海洛因使用者的经济和人种学访谈数据，以及其他来源的数据，来说明海洛因使用者的流动模式与城市和郊区环境之间的关系，特别是在药物获取和机会地理方面。作者发现，尽管与种族隔离相关的地理位置和社会网络为中心城市居民和非裔美国人提供了比白人郊区居民更容易、更有效地找到和购买海洛因的战略优势，但同样的隔离有效地集中了中心城市社区海洛因市场的负外部性。最后，作者考虑了海洛因贸易如何反映和再现了隔离的后工业景观，并讨论了种族和经济贫民窟与区域毒品市场之间关系的未来研究方向。
In this article, the authors used data from economic and ethnographic interviews with heroin users from Detroit, Michigan, as well as other sources, to illustrate the relationship between heroin users’ mobility patterns and urban and suburban environments, especially in terms of drug acquisition and the geography of opportunity. The authors found that although geographic location and social networks associated with segregation provided central city residents and African Americans with a strategic advantage over White suburbanites in locating and purchasing heroin easily and efficiently, this same segregation effectively focuses the negative externalities of heroin markets in central city neighborhoods. Finally, the authors consider how the heroin trade reflects and reproduces the segregated post-industrial landscape and discuss directions for future research about the relationship between ethnic and economic ghettos and regional drug markets.
