Produktbeschreibung

Numerous studies underscore the prevalence of substance abuse among offender populations. Research indicates that a substantial proportion of offenders have histories of substance abuse, with estimates suggesting that over 70% of incarcerated individuals meet the criteria for substance use disorders. This statistic underscores the need for a comprehensive understanding of how substance use influences criminal behavior.

Research conducted by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) highlights a variety of ways in which substance abuse directly contributes to crime. For instance, the use of stimulants like methamphetamine has been associated with violent crimes, while alcohol is frequently involved in incidents of domestic violence and interpersonal disputes. Additionally, opioid use has been linked to property crimes as individuals engage in theft or robbery to support their addiction. Moreover, drug trafficking operations contribute substantially to organized crime, further complicating the association between substance abuse and criminality.
