McGill study shows supervised drug sites don’t bring more crime
Description
January 6, 2026
A new McGill University study suggests that crime rates around supervised drug consumption sites aren't necessarily higher than in other neighbourhoods. The report focused mostly on Ontario sites based on Toronto police data. The decline in crime may be the result of increases in police patrols. As Tim Sargeant reports, advocates hope the research will help reduce the stigma.
