Abstract

I'm eating dinner in a cafe in Bairro Alto, the charming cobblestoned old quarter of Lisbon, on a mild spring night. Just outside, three drug dealers are working the corner. The oldest is about fifteen, the youngest maybe eleven, and they're selling little bags of grass, hash, coke or heroin. I know the menu, because they offered it to me as I walked by on my way in. Occasionally a policeman will wander past, nod at them and walk on. Drug abuse and crime; Drug addiction--Treatment; Drug abuse--Law and legislation; Drug utilization--Social aspects;
