Description

On the latest edition of our "Puff or Pass" series examining how drugs and people who use drugs are portrayed in pop culture, DPA's marketing coordinator Ifetayo Harvey digs into a recent episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. In a dramatic episode that covers many angles -- from problematic drug use to corrupt medical providers, from the intersection of drug policy with other systems to opioid overdose -- one question ties it all together: are the cops portrayed in SVU an accurate reflection of the cops we see in reality? 

 

Note that the opinions on Puff or Pass are the guest's own, and don't necessarily represent the official position of DPA.
