Abstract
Official estimates of the extent of the illicit heroin trade in Australia are set out in the reports of various Royal Commissions of Inquiry appointed by Federal and State governments. The estimates are fundamentally misleading. It is suggested that more discriminating studies of the extent of the problem, and its relationship with the incidence of property crime, are required.Keywords
