This program shows how the drug problem is being addressed in four major cities: New York, Toronto, Amsterdam and Liverpool. In Amsterdam and Liverpool drug users are treated as people who are sick, not evil. They are given needles, syringes, medical care and in some cases the drug itself. Street crime has dropped. Addicts are able to lead a more normal life and not resort to crime and prostitution. New York is a city in chaos, wracked by drugs and the effort to root them out. Stern drug laws have not provided an answer. Police and court resources have been diverted from crimes like murder and rape. Also, incarcerating small-time drug users in overcrowded prisons does not cure their addiction. Canada's public policy is somewhere between Europe's liberal approach and America's hard line. This film questions our underlying assumptions about illegal drug use and offers a new approach to this devastating social ill. 001355137 546__ $$aIn English. 001355137 650_0 $$aDrug abuse. 001355137 650_0 $$aDrug addicts. 001355137 650_0 $$aNarcotic laws. 001355137 655_7 $$aDocumentary films.$$2lcgft 001355137 7001_ $$aMathur, Vishnu,$$edirector,$$eproducer. 001355137 85640 $$uhttp://www.aspresolver.com/aspresolver.asp?FLON;2796259 001355137 901__ $$aASP2796259/flon$$bVaAlASP$$c11086$$tbiblio 001355137 905__ $$uadmin 001355137 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1355137$$pGLOBAL_SET 001355137 910__ $$JB 2015-11-09 001355137 941__ $$a1003831039 001355137 944__ $$a2796259 001355137 945__ $$aThe Whole World 001355137 950__ $$aAVN2$$aDVDF$$aFLON$$aVSTR$$aEBAP$$aPDAP$$bFLN2$$cFLON-13$$cDVDF-ST$$cVSTR-ST$$cEBAP-BF$$cPDAP-BF$$cAVN2-BF 001355137 980__ $$aSTREAMING 001355137 980__ $$aBIB 001355137 980__ $$a2 001355137 982__ $$aStreaming Video 001355137 983__ $$aOnline
