CRIMINAL ACTIVITY LINKED TO ADDICTION
Re: "Why do we provide safe alcohol sites?" June 17.
The writer made some valid points but failed to mention that
reportedly up to 80 per cent of all crimes are committed by addicts
trying to support their habits. Would she be more understanding of
why mandatory rehab and retraining within a secure facility (no
visits) would be a fair solution to society and the addicts when
crime prevention is considered?
Proof of ability to support a habit legally would be an exception.
