Sažetak
control in the City of Split in the period between 1994 and 2007. It presents the essential results of the research conducted using the case study method, within which semi-structured interviews, analysis of various documents and other methodological techniques
were used. The interpretation of the research results, based on diverse theoretical approaches, shows that the policy of drug addiction and abuse control in the City of Split is a rare example of modern, adequately designed and successful policy in contemporary
Croatia. The implementation of this policy, among other factors, significantly affected the halting of the trend of expansion of heroin addiction in the second largest city in Croatia at the end of the last decade, and a considerable decrease in the number of newly registered heroin addicts in the analysed period as a whole. As a result of these changes, from a “lost-cause city” Split has turned into a “model city” of drug addiction and abuse control in the eyes of the professional and general public.
