Why We Need Stricter Repercussions To Combat Spiking

April 3, 2023
Why We Need Stricter Repercussions To Combat Spiking

In this week’s issue, writer Ella Alexander looks at the spiking epidemic and asks: why is it still not a criminal offence in the UK? It’s a horrifying trend, with thousands of cases reported each year. People close to me have been victims, and now when we go out, we’re not just watching our drinks, but looking out for needles too. I’ve heard of people wearing thick denim and leather in the hopes of keeping themselves safe. It’s both terrifying and angering, and I hope Ella’s piece proves the need for stricter repercussions than are currently in place.
