  Abstract (down) Risultato di una revisione di fondo della statistica criminale di polizia (SCP), il nuovo rapporto annuale fornisce per la prima volta un quadro nazionale dei reati registrati dalla polizia. L’elevato grado di dettaglio delle informazioni rilevate consente di illustrare i reati, le vittime e gli imputati (incl. età, sesso e nazionalità) e fornisce per determinati reati ulteriori informazioni concernenti i mezzi utilizzati o il luogo in cui è stato commesso il reato. Numerose rappresentazioni grafiche (p. es. frequenza secondo il cantone) completano inoltre il quadro della criminalità registrata in Svizzera.

  Title Ten years of experience with needle and syringe exchange programmes in European prisons : review Type Journal Article
  Year 2003 Publication International journal of drug policy Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 14 Issue 1 Pages 437-444  
  Keywords harm reduction  
  Abstract (down) Results of needle and syringe exchange programmes (SEPs) in prisons based on 10 years experience in Switzerland, Germany, Spain and Moldova are presented. SEPs have been introduced in 46 European prisons, predominantly as pilot projects. Forty-three of these projects were still operating at the time of writing. In 11 prisons, SEPs were evaluated to assess feasibility and efficacy. Results did not support fears that commonly arise in the start-up of implementation of SEPs. Syringe distribution was not followed by an increase in drug use or injection drug use. Syringes were not misused, and disposal of used syringes was uncomplicated. Sharing of syringes among drug users reduced. Based on these experiences, it can be concluded that in these settings harm reduction measures, including syringe exchange, were not only feasible but efficient. Despite these positive results, syringe exchange in prison is far from general acceptance. However, a governmental decree released in Spain in 2001 that all prisons in the country are required to provide drug users with sterile injection equipment may lead to a breakthrough of this harm reduction measure in the future. The discrepancy concerning the success of SEPs in prisons on the one hand and its low acceptance on the other hand is striking. Suggestions for the installation of SEPs in prison are given to assist a more objective discussion.

  Title Taming demons : the reduction of harm resulting from use of illicit drugs Type Journal Article
  Year 1993 Publication International journal of drug policy Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 4 Issue 2 Pages 72-77  
  Keywords AOD use; illicit drug; harm reduction; prohibition (AOD public policy); cost (economic); cost-effectiveness; impact of policy or law; HIV infection; prevention; methadone maintenance; drug substitution therapy; cost-benefit analysis; Australia  
  Abstract (down) Restricting availability is the major response to illicit drugs in most Western countries including Australia. Prohibition may reduce harm when the drug in question is in low demand, controls are difficult to subvert, and when similar drugs are less toxic or unavailable. However, the health, social and economic costs of supply reduction are substantial and increasing for both injecting drug users and the general community. Population adjusted mortality of heroin users has doubled in Australia in the last decade. The possible impact of supply reduction policy on the spread of HIV infection among IDUs is an important but largely neglected consideration. The effectiveness of supply restriction policy in decreasing the availability of drugs or in reducing drug-related harm is unlikely to be increased significantly by more vigorous implementation of supply reduction or adoption of new technology. Conversely, on the basis of existing data, greater availability of HIV prevention measures attractive to the target population (including especially drug treatment such as methadone maintenance) is likely to be effective and cost-effective. The costs and benefits of innovative methods of providing currently illicit drugs to those who are determined to use them requires careful evaluation and comparison with existing policies. Policy on illicit drugs in most countries including Australia is still dominated by concern about drug use rather than focused on the need to reduce drug-related problems, which is the agreed aim of national drug policy.

  Title Public health or human rights: what comes first? Type Journal Article
  Year 2004 Publication International journal of drug policy Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 15 Issue 4; 09/2004 Pages 231-237  
  Keywords human rights; public health; AOD use; harm reduction  
  Abstract (down) Respect for human rights is a defining feature of harm reduction, which is commonly characterised as a public health-based movement. The importance it attaches to ‘user-friendliness’ and the view that drug users have a right to the same respect and dignity that other users of health and social care services receive is largely undisputed among harm reductionists. Within harm reduction there is also a developing discourse identifying drug use itself as a human right; nudging harm reduction towards being a rights based movement. This allows us to describe two philosophies of harm reduction: a ‘weak rights’ version, in which people are entitled to good treatment and a ‘strong rights’ version that additionally recognises a basic right to use drugs. Prioritising human rights or public health can lead to different concepts of harm reduction and different forms of ‘right action’. Privileging health may even, in some circumstances, be consistent with prohibitionary policies if these reduce harm. By contrast, the strong rights version of harm reduction subordinates public health considerations to the right to use drugs and implies support for policies that may sometimes increase harm. In the UK, the publication of ‘The Angel Declaration’, which recognises a right to use drugs and proposes a skeletal regulatory framework for a post-prohibition era, adds to the impetus for harm reductionists to clarify whether they fully embrace a right to use drugs within their understanding of harm reduction. This paper elaborates these issues in the context of the constraints upon the development of an evidence-based approach to controlling drug use that arise from the UN Conventions of 1961, 1971 and 1988.
