UK minister revises social media campaign against drink-spiking to focus on deterring perpetrators, not advising victims.

Justice minister Alex Davies-Jones emphasized that the campaign should focus on deterring perpetrators rather than advising potential victims on safety measures. The updated initiative aims to shift cultural perceptions by warning offenders of prosecution for spiking drinks.
