This paper identifies three inner-city cohorts differing by birth year and preferred drugs that routinely passed through Manhattan's criminal justice system from 1987 through 1997: The Heroin Injection Generation born 1945-54, the Cocaine/Crack Generation born 1955-69, and the Blunts (marijuana plus tobacco) Generation born since 1970. The future prospects for the Blunts Generation may be modestly enhanced by their continued avoidance of cocaine, crack, and heroin--despite the fact that many of them are being reared in severely distressed households and are developing few skills for legal jobs.
本文确定了三个内城区人群，他们出生年份不同，偏好的毒品也不同，在1987年至1997年间经常进出曼哈顿刑事司法系统：出生于1945年至1954年的海洛因注射一代，出生于1955年至1969年的可卡因/快克一代，以及1970年以后出生的大麻烟（大麻加烟草）一代。大麻烟一代的未来前景可能会因他们继续远离可卡因、快克和海因而略有改善——尽管事实上他们中的许多人是在极度贫困的家庭中长大的，而且几乎没有培养出从事合法工作的技能。
