Summary
"This chapter considers the topic of drug-related violence—that is, violence on our streets and in our communities—as a serious and urgent aspect of the problem of urban drugs. ... [The author] will consider: (1) the fundamental issue of how drugs and violence are related; (2) the effectiveness of the harm-reduction approach and of criminal justice in dealing with violence; and (3) the need and likelihood of adopting this type of solution in Canada."--Page 2.
