Résumé :
We discuss the role of drug consumption rooms (DCRs) as a harm reduction strategy to prevent drug overdose and show that "welfare states" collectivize the management of risk and in so doing cushion the socially vulnerable from harm (Houborg and Jauffret-Roustide, "Drug Consumption Rooms: Welfare State and Diversity in Social Acceptance in Denmark and in France,” p. S159). We argue that providing harm reduction services can also be viewed as a process of negotiating relationships between the state and those receiving welfare. By "state," we mean the institutions that are established by law and controlled by the government. We note that health and harm, as well as intervention and policy, are always situated effects of their risk and enabling environments. A harm reduction response to overdose crises, as with other public health emergencies, necessitates a systematic, adaptive, and structural response. [Extract]
