Doctors doubt heroin clinics will curb crime in cities
Dr. Vincent P. Dole of Rochester University warned that large scale heroin clinics would worsen drug crime rather than reduce it. He argued that maintenance leads to tolerance and black markets, with addicts likely to steal or sell doses if allowed home use, and that strict clinic regimes would trap many in welfare dependency.
