An invisible crime
b'
Slipping drugs or extra alcohol into someone\\u2019s drink is a crime, but one that is under-reported and little understood.
It\\u2019s often thought to take place in bars and nightclubs, but as Ruth Alexander discovers from people who\\u2019ve been targeted, it can happen to anyone, at any time.
Campaigners explain why myths and misconceptions around drink spiking persist, and we ask what could be done to move the crime out of the shadows and into the open.
