The Dealing with Drugs series continues with Ian Hargreaves , former editor of the Independent, looking at how the problems of drug abuse could be tackled by law enforcement and other frontline agencies. His journey takes him from Bradford, where police are battling a drug-related shoplifting epidemic, to Amsterdam, where attitudes towards recreational drug use are more relaxed. Recent Government initiatives acknowledge the contributions not only of policing but also of education and treatment programmes. Hargreaves asks if political rhetoric and media hype obstruct the path to a reasoned approach to illegal drug use.
Newsnight at 10.30pm features a debate on the topics covered during the week (Subtitled)
