No evidence that drug seizures reduce drug-related harm

Fri Nov 28 2014

The NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research (BOCSAR) has released a report on narcotics, entitled Supply Reduction Policy and Drug-related Harm. It found no evidence that "increases in drug seizures and drug supplier arrests reduced the number of ED [emergency department] admissions relating to [amphetamine-type substances], cocaine and heroin". View the report here.

The report comes days after the Bar Association launched its discussion paper on drug law reform.
