We Want to Publish Writing by People Inside the Squat
W.O.O.D.S.Q.U.A.T. #42 JAILS ARE NOT APPROPRIATE SOCIAL HOUSING THE COPE BETRAYAL Dear Coalition of Progressive Electors, We are shocked, baffled, and outraged by the remarks made today by Mayor-Elect Campbell regarding the crisis in the downtown eastside. We understood prior to the election that our COPE candidates promised a peaceful and non-violent political resolution of this crisis without an NPA-style retreat into deployment of police power. We understood prior to the election that our COPE candidates promised a withdrawal of the previous regime’s misguided and confrontational application for “injunctive relief” against the homeless and an enforcement order to “permanently restrain” them from assembling for the purposes of safety. We understood prior to the election that our COPE candidates promised that residents at the Woodwards Squat would be provided with decent and dignified housing as soon as possible. Today in British Columbia Supreme Court the City of Vancouver argued that the the homeless are causing “irreparable harm” to the public by residing on a portion of the sidewalks around the vacant Woodward’s building. This argument is not one that we expected our Mayor-Elect or any member of COPE to embrace. In fact, we anticipated that our Mayor-Elect would repudiate this preposterous and cruel notion of “irreparable harm” (which is the basis for the Plaintiff’s legal argument in favour of an injunction) on every possible public occasion. We expect that you will reign-in Mr. Campbell. We expect that you will do everything you can to combat the perverse machinations of the outgoing regime during their concluding attacks on the homeless over the next 13 days. -

Policing Public Disorder in a Canadian Community in Crisis
POLICING PUBLIC DISORDER IN A CANADIAN COMMUNITY IN CRISIS Mr. Keiron R. McConnell A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Policing and Public Order Studies University of Leicester 2003 University of Leicester Abstract POLICING PUBLIC DISORDER IN A CANADIAN COMMUNITY IN CRISIS by Mr. Keiron R. McConnell Chairperson of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Mike King Scarman Centre For the past several years a debate has been occurring about reason for the reduction of crime in New York City under the leadership of Mayor Giuliani and Police Commissioner Bill Bratton. Some claim that the principles of Broken Windows Theory worked to reduce crime. Others claim that the reduction had little to do with Broken Windows Theory and more to do with increased police, aggressive patrol tactics and abuses of the public by police. This research was conducted into an initiative by the Vancouver Police to reassign sixty police officers to the Downtown Eastside. This initiative, Citywide Enforcement Team was put in place to reduce disorder in the DTES. This research study utilized observational methods combined with quantitative and qualitative analysis to conclude that the introduction of the CET into the DTES impacted positively on the level of disorder and crime in that community.

The Establishment of North America's First State Sanctioned Supervised
International Journal of Drug Policy 17 (2006) 73–82 Research paper The establishment of North America’s first state sanctioned supervised injection facility: A case study in culture change Dan Small a, Anita Palepu b, Mark W. Tyndall b,c,∗ a Portland Hotel Society, Vancouver, Canada b Department of Medicine, University of British Columbia, Canada c British Columbia Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS, Canada Received 4 April 2005; received in revised form 29 August 2005; accepted 30 August 2005 Abstract The serious adverse health consequences associated with illicit drug use in Vancouver has brought international attention to the city. It is now widely recognized that innovative and bold strategies are required to confront epidemics of drug overdose, HIV and Hepatitis C infections, and injection-related bacterial infections. The establishment of North America’s first supervised injection facility (SIF) required a major cultural shift in the way drug addiction is viewed. The story behind the SIF in Vancouver is a complex and interconnected series of events brought about by the activities of advocates, peers, community agencies, politicians, journalists, academics and other key players to bring about social change. The aim of this narrative is to highlight the ideas, processes and historical events that contributed to a cultural transformation that was critical to opening the SIF in Vancouver. By doing this, we hope to encourage other communities to take the bold steps necessary to reduce the devastating health and social consequences of injection drug use. © 2005 Elsevier B.V.
