ALICE RAP Addiction and Lifestyles in Contemporary Europe Reframing Addictions Project

The intersection of law enforcement (especially police) and public health is manifold, covering the widest range of public health issues; longstanding, with an evolving history of collaborations; critically important, with many issues requiring an intersectoral approach; and inadequately recognised and understood. The LEPH Conferences address these deficiencies and explore the nature of the myriad interactions between police and public health.

Marginalisation is the enemy of security and health. Too often around the world, police have been agents of marginalisation. Inclusive policing works to overcome marginalisation, by according equal or greater attention and support to populations at increased risk because they are excluded and have unequal access to justice. LEPH2016 aspires to contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to overcome marginalisation.
