"This report provides an overview of the hearings of the Pompidou Group Expert Forum on
Criminal Justice (hereafter Criminal Justice Platform) between 2004 and 2006. During this
period five platforms meetings were convened on the subject of open drug scenes, drugrelated
crime and the types of responses developed in various countries throughout the
European Union and beyond. Presentations were heard covering the experience in over
thirty cities. The scale and nature of the problems associated with ‘open drug scenes’ varies
from place to place. However, most countries have acknowledged that the complexity of the
problem requires a multi-faceted response developed."
