Abstract

There is a surprising degree of consistency in the findings of different studies when it comes to the relationship between criminal crime and narcotic (mainly heroin) addiction, as was discovered in recent study that was carried out by independent investigators. The primary finding that emerges from the bulk of these investigations, which is also backed by the majority of the studies, is that narcotic addicts are responsible for a significant amount of criminal crime, most of which is directly tied to the need to acquire drugs. A significant amount of the criminal drug does not just entail the purchase or possession of illegal substances; rather, it also involves a variety of other illegal crimes, including more severe crimes. The findings of longitudinal studies demonstrate that the amount of crime committed during active addiction outweighs that during non-addiction times by a large margin, provide the most compelling evidence that there is a causal relationship between the use of narcotic drugs and criminal behavior. Although addicts, under circumstances of extreme anonymity, have supplied information that allowed reliable estimations of criminal conduct, the vast majority of this criminal activity is not recorded. Through the use of this approach, it has been possible to distinguish between several subtypes of addicts, particularly with regard to the quantities and categories of illegal crimes in which they participate. The findings of this study suggest that although while addicts as a whole are responsible for a significant amount of
criminal crime, they cannot be categorized into a single kind of person.
