The research was undertaken at a time of increasing public concerns for drug- and alcohol-related public nuisance in the city center of Dublin, Ireland. Rapid Assessment Research was conducted involving qualitative interviewing with drug service users; business, transport, community, voluntary, and statutory stakeholders (n = 61); and an environmental mapping exercise. The interplay between homelessness, loitering, an influx of drug users via city metro systems, transient open drug scenes, street drinking, drug injecting, intimidation, knife crime, and prescribed medication abuse was evident. Potential strategies to address drug and alcohol related public nuisance are advised to include the relocation of treatment services, targeted harm reduction initiatives, urban regeneration, improved community rehabilitation pathways, and heightened policing intensity.
这项研究是在爱尔兰都柏林市中心公众对与毒品和酒精相关的公共滋扰日益关注之际进行的。开展了快速评估研究，包括对吸毒服务使用者、商业、交通、社区、志愿和法定利益相关者（n = 61）进行定性访谈，以及一次环境测绘活动。无家可归、闲逛、吸毒者通过城市地铁系统涌入、临时露天吸毒场景、街头酗酒、注射毒品、恐吓、持刀犯罪和滥用处方药之间的相互影响显而易见。建议应对与毒品和酒精相关的公共滋扰的潜在策略包括重新安置治疗服务、有针对性的减少伤害举措、城市更新、改善社区康复途径以及加强治安力度。
