If one out of 100 in the popolation is a substance abuser or ex-offender, we may have less compassion for him because he is responsible for his behavior and also, his vulnerability. But if 90 out of 100 have the same problem, I would absolutely consider them as victims and think of some reason above individual level. Actually vulnerability is due to many reasons: race, social networks, physical location, SES, community context....
So I think what they need is not only additional health care programs, but also long-term interventions to improve their life circumstance.
