Drug User Young People
551 wordsThe current debate in Australia about the heroin crisis is centred on the drug, and the high cost to individuals and society of its addiction.

Sexually Transmitted Diseases Sex Industry
1,204 wordsHistorically, although prostitution has been viewed as a threat to the moral order and a danger to public health, the state has tended to legislate for the regulation of prostitution, rather than introducing measures focussed on its elimination.

Gun Control Laws Gun Owners
