Abstract
In 2017/2018, the Youth Experiences Project (YEP) surveyed 449 and
interviewed 38 youth aged 16-30 in Victoria, Chilliwack, and Prince
George.
• This report provides findings from YEP that illustrate the impact of police
interactions on youth who use drugs (YWUD)
• We also provide recommendations from youth about how police can
improve the quality of their work among young people.
