Kora DeBeck
Kora DeBeck is a professor in the School of Public Policy at Simon Fraser University, known for her research on drug policy and harm reduction. She has been vocal about the complexities of drug decriminalization, arguing that it is a limited intervention that cannot address the broader challenges of addiction and the toxic drug supply. Recently, she expressed frustration over the perception that the decriminalization pilot in British Columbia 'failed,' citing data that indicated it had reduced policing-related barriers to accessing harm-reduction services.
