DESCRIPTION
This module looks at the many relationships that exist between drugs and crime. It starts off with the obvious link ? the possession of drugs is illegal ? and explores different types of drugs, the prevalence of drug use and some theories of who uses drugs, and why. It then moves on to crimes associated with drug use and drug trafficking, theoretical and causal connections between drug use and crime, and ways that we attempt to deal with drug users (whether along medical or criminal lines), drug markets and the links between drugs and other criminal activity.
