    Citation Excerpt :

    It also implies that dependent drug users should receive no automatic exemption from punishment for any other crimes that they commit, as they retain responsibility for their actions. If they do commit such crimes, then offering them a treatment alternative to an otherwise justified criminal sanction may offer a way to limit the infliction of penal pain whilst also more effectively protecting potential victims from future offences (Schaub et al., 2010; Stevens, McSweeney, van Ooyen, & Uchtenhagen, 2005). The PGC leads to a rational acceptance that drug policy should aim to limit objectively verified harms to rights.
