Bourgois and Schonberg make no attempt in Righteous Dopefiend to euphemize or otherwise lessen the shocking blow of reading the stories of homeless heroin injectors in San Francisco. Their ethnography plunges directly into an environment where property crime, interpersonal violence, and sexual abuse are normalized to such an extent that cultural relativism may be difficult for a privileged reader to apply.

When I started working with Dontae I tried to be open minded and not interact with him with theories floating around in my mind. I was taught in my undergraduate career that conversations with your clients should feel natural and because I was nervous to showcase my abilities at a new placement I did not want say the wrong thing and to ruin my ability to make a deep connection with Dontae later.

Safe injection sites possess many salutary benefits related to public health safety of the drug using community. Safe injection sites provide a safe place for drug users to inject drugs into their bodies so they do not have to reuse needles and can also be supervised by nurses constantly while they do so. Insite is the sole safe injection site in all of Canada and the expansion of other facilities has been fiercely contested by policy makers not due to empirical criminological evidence, but simply
