Do safe injection sites increase crime rates?
- Recent research contradicts claims that safe injection sites contribute to increased crime or public drug use.
- Safe injection sites are facilities that provide a supervised environment for individuals to use injectable opioids. There are over 200 centers worldwide, and not a single death has been reported inside safe injection sites.
- The research was part of a 2023 government-funded study by New York University and Brown University to assess if safe injection sites can prevent overdoses.
