Efforts in the United States to eradicate drug use through supply reduction (that is, the War on Drugs) have increasingly violated the principles of social justice and human rights, both locally and globally. This has created ethical conflicts for social workers in policy making, practice, and research. Harm reduction has been conceptualized as a peace movement and is aligned with the humanistic values around which social work is organized. The authors examine how social workers may reduce the ethical conflicts associated with efforts to address substance abuse by adopting a harm reduction approach to policy, practice, and research. They examine current drug policies, the consequences of the policies, and, in particular, how the policies affect social workers as practitioners, agents of social control, and guardians of social justice.
美国通过减少供应（即毒品战争）来根除毒品使用的努力，在本地和全球范围内都越来越多地违反了社会正义和人权原则。这在政策制定、实践和研究中给社会工作者带来了伦理冲突。减少伤害已被概念化为一场和平运动，并且与构成社会工作基础的人文价值观相一致。作者探讨了社会工作者如何通过在政策、实践和研究中采用减少伤害的方法，来减少与解决药物滥用努力相关的伦理冲突。他们审视了当前的毒品政策、这些政策的后果，尤其是这些政策如何影响作为从业者、社会控制代理人和社会正义守护者的社会工作者。
