Drugs: the open door policy

Article Abstract:

It has become common in some parts of the UK for security staff who control entry to night clubs and bars to be involved in drug dealing or protecting drug dealers. In Liverpool, England, for example, a private security company used extreme pressure to ensure that its staff were taken on at clubs and bars. These men then sold drugs on the premises or took money from dealers operating there. Home Office research indicates that security staff sometimes hold extra stocks of drugs for dealers.

Epidemic of heroin sweeps Britain

Article Abstract:

Heroin dealers in the UK are now targeting areas which have until recently remained drug-free, according to a Home Office study. In some cases, dealers will offer heroin free to encourage a habit. They are particularly focusing on young people aged between 15 and 20, many of whom have educational difficulties and are from poor, broken homes. Many young people are not aware of the side effects of heroin, and regard it as less addictive than other drugs.
