social concern
public safety
Historical setting - why did SL offences come about?

Mrs Sweet rented cottage out to students
Students smoking cannabis
Sweet rarely visits, only to collect mail

Q. could she be held strictly liable for allowing her property to be used for drug taking?
Ratio: the Misuse of Drugs Act was silent about whether MR was required. The crime here was not strict liability
