Needle spiking has been making headlines across the world in recent years. One responder to Hack’s crowdsourcing campaign said after becoming aware of the rising needle spiking cases in the United Kingdom, checking for puncture wounds from injections became a night-out routine. Needle spiking is not a new phenomenon; however, drink spiking is far more prevalent. Beyond some scattered media reporting, it's unclear how big the needle-spiking problem is in Australia. What is clear is that spiking, especially in drinks, is not a problem that is going away. What are your thoughts LiveTribers? Why is needle spiking happening in Australian pubs and clubs?
