Drug Rape or Drink and Needle Spiking advice. From advice such as never leaving your drink unattended to advice about eliminating the chances of drug rape.

More than 300 suspected drink or drug drivers were arrested in West Yorkshire over the Christmas and New Year period.
Spiking is when someone puts alcohol or drugs into another person’s drink or body without their consent or knowledge. This is illegal even if no other offence is committed. People can also be the victims of ‘needle spiking’, which is injecting someone with drugs without their consent. Spiking can happen to anyone anywhere – no matter their gender, sexuality or ethnicity – and can be carried out by strangers or by people you know.
West Yorkshire Police would like to raise the awareness around drugs and their link to serious organised crime with hope that drug users may rethink their decisions. Drugs are linked to violence, child criminal exploitation, Child Sexual Exploitation, Human Trafficking and Modern Slavery, Firearms, and other areas of Serious and Organised Crime.
