L’objectif
Aimed to model the effect of Australia's first Medically Supervised Injecting Centre (MSIC) on acquisitive crime and loitering by drug users and dealers
Constatations/points à retenir
Results suggest that setting up an MSIC does not necessarily lead to an increase in drug-related problems of crime and public loitering.
La conception ou méthodologie de recherche
The effect of the MSIC on drug use and dealing was examined by (a) time series analysis of a special proxy measure of drug-related loitering; (b) interviewing key informants; and (c) examining trends in the proportion of Sydney drug offences that were recorded in Kings Cross.
