MyPOV Editorial Team
This is a very controversial subject that has generated much media attention. However, the sensational and frequently reported outcomes, often fail to discuss the important underlying causes. Certain communities have been targeted and blamed for the rise in criminal activity. We believe that this is a highly complex issue that ranges from Serious Organised Crime, to Urban Street Gangs, to very impressionable and vulnerable young people.
Therefore, we want to undo the myths and perceptions by presenting the true realities.
So, rather than revisiting the tragic outcomes and statistics, we want to look at how organised crime infiltrates into communities, how societal issues and related factors contribute to the risk of young people being exploited, and finally, we listen to highly informed individuals who discuss how we should seek to tackle it.
The world is changing. Despite pressure to adopt a more progressive approach, the UK government persists with a policy of drug prohibition. Whilst the government has taken some positive steps with medicinal Cannabis, many feel this is simply not enough and that it leaves many issues unresolved.
Whether you feel that drugs should continue to be prohibited, decriminalised or legalised, this discussion is for you. The reality is that wherever your opinion sits on this important topic, carrying on as is, perpetuates many harmful issues. We need a policy that protects the people, puts harm reduction at its core and recognises the society in which we all live.
This is an opportunity for YOU, the UK population, to share your opinions alongside some highly respected and well known opinion leaders.
