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.
在本文中，作者使用了对密歇根州底特律市海洛因使用者进行的经济和人种志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，特别是在毒品获取和机会地理方面。作者发现，尽管与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在轻松高效地定位和购买海洛因方面提供了相对于白人郊区居民的战略优势，但这种隔离实际上将海洛因市场的负面外部效应集中在了中心城市社区。最后，作者思考了海洛因贸易如何反映和再现隔离的后工业景观，并讨论了关于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。
