Cet événement réunira les perspectives et les expériences des chercheurs scientifiques, des partisans de la réduction des risques et des autorités judiciaires et policières pour réfléchir aux manières de combler le fossé culturel entre l’application de la loi, les agences de santé publique, et les fournisseurs de soins de santé communautaire.

Burdens borne by the failures of current community health and social service systems are often unfairly placed on the shoulders of law enforcement, who are gatekeepers to a criminal justice system that disproportionately affects the most disadvantaged communities in the United States. A public health approach to policing is necessary to address the health inequalities, violence, trauma, racism, and poverty at the root of many arrests, including by using the principles of harm reduction to respond to the needs of these marginalized individuals and communities.
This event will bring together the perspectives and experiences of researchers, harm reduction advocates, and law enforcement to describe how to bridge the cultural divide between law enforcement, public health agencies, and community health providers in order to protect the rights and foster the health of the most vulnerable members of society.
