Heroin addicts in Vancouver are committing crimes to support their drug usage. Their daily activities such as jobs, interactions, and relationships are harder to maintain, which drives them to do whatever they must to get their hands on heroin, which includes breaking the law. The laws broken include those of breaking and entering as well as stealing. The “Free Heroin for Addicts” program is trying to prevent this phenomenon by willingly providing the drug to addicts so they will be less likely to commit crimes. However, the program is not targeting the problem at hand as it won’t help to ween these addicts off using heroin. It is instead only trying to save the city from rising crime rates. This method of assistance will limit the number of heroin users that are admitted to the hospital due to contamination from laced drugs or unsanitary needles. This reduces the chances of addicts finding themselves unable to afford hospital bills. This program will provide people with clean and free heroin, which will in turn fix city crime rates but not the addiction that these people face.
