I just read the article on p20 in June '04.
Great and important article.
Actually it came at the right time as we are having some issues here in Norway.

In the paragraph about Australia, it says: "It cost the nation's taxpayers $500,000 (Australian)...
Is this figure corect?
To me is seems very very low. That is something like USD 350,000

I also miss hard numbers. The number of crimes pr 100,000 in each country before and after the prohibitions.
If you have any suggestion where I can find these figures I would be very greatful!
