SII is working on a project in partnership with the Edmonton Police Foundation and Alcanna Inc. to address the liquor store theft crisis in Edmonton. There are almost 1000 thefts per month from liquor stores and most of the theft comes from organize crime groups who use the liquor as currency. They sell the liquor to other establishments or trade it for drugs or a place to stay for the night. Many of the thieves are young indigenous people looking to fuel their addictions. We are interested in learning how to decrease addiction among young indigenous people in order for them to have a better life and for liquor store thefts to decrease.
No deliverables exist for this project.
