http://edinburghcriminologyphd.blogspot.com/2010/08/stigma-and-drug-users.html

The report by the UK Drugs Policy Commission said that the Government's current moves toward an abstinence based approach will not work unless underlying prejudice towards drug users is tackled. See the story in the press.

They can't use the BCS because that doesn't back up their thesis so they're falling back on official statistics, which only measure an increase because police changed the way they measure violent crime. Politicians must think we’re stupid, it makes me furious! See what happens ...

Whilst we are perhaps used to reading about disproportionately high levels of imprisonment of people from ethnic minorities in the US it's not so often highlighted for Britain.
