Acknowledgments
The accounts presented here originated in a research project funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) of the Department of Human Services under Grant Number ROI DA 05672 while I was a faculty member in the Department of Sociology and Criminal Justice at the University of Delaware. I would like to extend my appreciation to Mario De La Rosa, my project officer at NIDA, for his support and assistance. As a first-time grantee, I found his help to be critically important, and I thank him for his technical assistance, moral support, and professionalism.
At the University of Delaware I would like to offer my appreciation to James A. Inciardi. Jim was the first person to suggest that I submit a grant proposal to NIDA. Mary Richards, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, and Frank Scarpitti, Chair of the Department of Sociology and Criminal Justice, provided me with the resources necessary to complete the research project. Margaret Andersen, Ruth Horowitz, Cynthia Robbins, Steve Martin, and Ann Pottieger provided intellectual stimulation. I thank them for being true scholars and colleagues.
When I left Delaware in the fall of 1994 and joined the faculty of the Department of Criminal Justice at Indiana University in Bloomington, I found another group of warm and compassionate scholars. Dean Morton Lowengrub of the College of Arts and Sciences provided research incentive funds that enabled me to transcribe the remaining taped interviews. I would also like to thank Robert Orsi, Professor of Religious Studies, whose enthusiasm for this book has been unceasing. Since my arrival in Bloomington, he has attempted to help me make the transition to the Midwest and to a smaller community and has become a good friend and colleague. I would also like to thank William Oliver, Kip Schlegel, Hal Pepinsky, Jill Bystydzienski, and Stephanie Kane for their suggestions and encouragement. Most of all I would like to thank Coramae Richey Mann, who hounded, cajoled, and encouraged me to apply for a position at Indiana. She is a scholar of the first order, and I am proud to call her a colleague and even prouder to call her friend. She is the mother I miss.

My field staff and I spent eighteen months in 19901991 collecting data from 431 individuals who were both drug-and non-drug-using criminals. Life history interviews were conducted with forty-eight individuals, some of whom were a part of the larger sample of 431 people. Of these forty-eight people, sixteen were gay men and women.
My deepest thanks go to my staff members. The field staff consisted of Althea Heggs, Karen D'Arcy, Kevin McCann, Thurston Collier, and Bernard Bryant. While they were not responsible for conducting any of the interviews contained in this book, they conducted thousands of quantitative interviews and were responsible for suggesting and recruiting some of the individuals who are presented here. At the Project Office at the University of Delaware, I would like to thank Tracey Dixon, Kimberly Bell, Linda Granger, Teresa Robeson, Linda Keen, and Eloise Barczak for transcribing many of these life history interviews, interviews that ranged from five to ten hours in length.
