ferno Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Whether it's 80% or 100%, if the heroin still costs then it's not going to diminish acquisitive crime, is it! How many times, IT COSTS NOTHING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferno Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I showed evidence earlier in the thread from numerous sources which indicate that it is very hard for heroin addicts to function normally, never mind hold down a regular job. No, you haven't. The evidence fromn Liverpool, Switzerland and Netherlands is that it is perfectly possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferno Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Chen et al found 45% of Taiwanese heroin addicts were in employment, in Nigeria the figure was 31%, in Switzerland, Beninghof et al found 34% of heroin addicts to be working legitimately. In the USA, Corty et al found 50% of addicts seeking methadone treatment reported full-time employment currently or within the recent past. http://www.idmu.co.uk/hemployment.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sibon Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 As this thread has now descended into bickering and petty point scoring, I'm going to close it. If anyone can think of a reason why it should be reopened, please approach the helpdesk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
