While it is clear that every law to some extent rests on morality, it is equally clear, that imposing moral rules by means of legislation goes beyond the limits of the rule of law. The law, in my opinion, has to be restricted to public behaviour and human interactions which have direct effects on public order. The prohibition of any kind of behaviour means repression of all appearances of the behaviour defined as illegal. Repression excludes social integration. Since prohibition and repression aim to eliminate these features, they exclude integration and control.
Integration is the necessary condition for control.
Too much belief in the repression of human behaviour will ultimately lead to the suppression of human beings. The global system of illicit narcotics is the most important factor causing the growth of the criminal economic volume. I do not believe so. In that case I foresee a trebling or quadrupling of the financial costs, combined with a change in police tactics which comes near to the suppression of people, instead of diminishing undesirable social phenomena. It is often supposed, that there is a direct connection between repression and the volume of crime.
