One thing with this I think is that they just appeared to "do it", with only those who did it knowing about it (if I read that wrong, feel free to correct me)...and when you put that next to this:
Langford said the women "were part of a court diversion program" and that they volunteered to be a part of the police training program.
Kate Quinn, executive director of the Prostitution Awareness and Action Foundation of Edmonton told the Sun her agency had nothing to do with the operation and didn't know about it ahead of time. "The only approved formal court diversion program is our program and we had no knowledge this research project was taking place," said Quinn.
Next, I think these points sum things up on another issues...
"Many ethical questions are involved in this, namely procuring the use of marginalized women who are valued so little," the whistle-blower told the Sun.
The tipster begged to differ: "The people these girls are supposed to trust to take care of them have turned around and used them as guinea pigs."
She questioned whether a training operation was helpful to the women's recovery. "How would participating help (the women) or impact them?" asked Quinn.
"Many ethical questions are involved in this, namely procuring the use of marginalized women who are valued so little," the whistle-blower told the Sun. "This required police authorization for them to secure their own illegal drugs ... and have police look the other way while they injected, snorted or smoked them to get high."
