Drug trafficking and shootings in a big-city neighbourhood.
- Zero tolerance, with the army as back-up if needed
- Stronger policing and massive social investment
- Legalise to break the market, and focus on prevention
What's at stake: The debate is about how to regain control: force against armed networks, or breaking the market and investing in neighbourhoods.

The centre's argument
Stronger policing against the networks and massive investment in the neighbourhood.
The right's argument
Facing armed networks, the state must show its strength to protect residents.
