本文介绍了街头执法对澳大利亚主要海洛因市场的影响。基于三年的研究，包括访谈和扩展的人种学实地考察，它使用关于药物使用，风险实践，犯罪和警务的数据来研究执法和伤害最小化之间的关系。调查结果表明，“成功”的警察镇压和他们对毒品市场的影响（包括对公共健康和社区安全的威胁，由于地理，社会和物质的位移）可能会赢得巨大的成本，提高怀疑他们的价值。
This article describes the impact of street-level law enforcement on Australia's principal heroin market. Based on three years of research, including interviews and extended ethnographic fieldwork, it uses data on drug-use, risk practices, crime, and policing to examine the relationship between law enforcement and harm minimization. Findings suggest that the 'successes' of police crackdowns and their impact on drug markets (including threats to public health and community safety as a result of geographical, social, and substance displacement) may be won at substantial costs, raising doubts as to their value.
