I disagree. There are many ways of helping out drug addicts, unfortunately it requires money and effort and a change of laws in this country. Giving them incentives does not help. I personally have been the victim of crimes committed by drug addicts on no less than 5 times, and all them resulting in threats to my life, in some way or another. If they think this scheme will work, they are surely misguided, and not quite living in the real world, of which some people are forced to live in. In my borough, they house known alcoholics and drug addicts next to law abiding damilies with youngsters, and then they don't help the victims when the neighbours want money for drugs. No, they help the poor little druggies instead, while giving nothing for the victims. It's disgusting, and none of this addresses the real issues. The addicts would be better off with psychotherapy sessions than with vouchers. Don't get me wrong, I think more should be done for addicts, but thought has to go out to victims, relatives and friends of the addicts too. Buying them off with vouchers would achieve nothing.
