About the Book

What Were Your Parents Doing Back Then? is a comprehensive, in-depth study of teen drug and alcohol abuse that begins in the "hip" days of the 1970's, travels through the economic boom of the 1990's, and continues on until the present time. Lowney combines qualitative, descriptive research with statistical quantitative data over a 31-year period to present a human understanding of young people's drug use.

About the Author :
Jeremiah Lowney is Associate Professor of Sociology at Carroll College, Helena, Montana.

Review :
Essentially, I believe that Jerry Lowney has achieved some unique feats in social science research and in the field of addiction studies. It should be a valuable example for use in courses on social science methodology. For courses on social problems,alcohol and drug addiction, deviance, and the family, it should provide a very valuable case study. The appropriate people need to know about this unique book. By far the most thorough and comprehensive text on the teen drug subculture. It's the only text I have seen that follows the subjects for an extended time period- in this case 30+ years. The depth of inside information on the subculture is second to none. You won't be disappointed. This book is thorough—covers 31 years of research, but presents a very human understanding... It combines the story of the young people with the author's own life journey (he even enters the priesthood during the course of his research). Brings back some great (and not so great—now that I think about them) memories!> This book is thorough—covers 31 years of research, but presents a very human understanding...
