Eric Carlin, Chief Executive of Mentor UK, has just started a blog. In his first post he reflects on a presentation he gave to the Federation of Drug and Alcohol Professionals:
Although we know that scare tactics are only effective with small numbers of people, politicians still focus on these rather than investing in building environments – in schools, in communities, in families – where young people can thrive and have aspirations. We also need to spend less on criminal justice and supply reduction and more on effective demand reduction.
Go take a look and give him some feedback.
