In 2005, the English Government announced plans to introduce thresholds into drugs legislation with a view to simplifying proof of intent to supply.
During the consultation process, the proposal was vigorously attacked as unjust and impractical. Drawing upon European and international experience, this paper critiques the government's decision to shelve this proposal. RESULTS\
While the use of thresholds to create a presumption that an individual has intent to supply is problematic, thresholds could usefully have been adopted to facilitate a policy of diversion for those who fell below them.
2005年,英国政府宣布计划在药品立法中引入阈值,以期简化供应意图的证明。
在咨询过程中,该提议遭到强烈抨击,被指不公正且不切实际。本文借鉴欧洲和国际经验,对政府搁置该提议的决定进行了批判。结果
虽然使用阈值来推定个人有供应意图存在问题,但阈值本可有效地用于为低于阈值的人推行转向政策。
