Is there a drug-crime connection?

- Crime can cause drug abuse. - Crime can support drug abuse. - Crime and drug abuse can co-occur. - Gang activity can encourage drug abuse. - Drug abuse can lead to other criminogenic activities and environments. While there is no conclusive evidence that taking drugs turns otherwise law-abiding citizens into criminals, there are indications that people who commit crime also use drugs significantly more than the average citizen.

Types of drug users and abusers

Adolescents who distribute small amounts of drugs. Adolescents who frequently sell drugs. Teenage drug dealers who commit other delinquent acts. Adolescents who cycle in and out of the justice system. Drug-involved youth who continue to commit crimes as adults. Outwardly respectable adults who are top-level dealers. Smugglers. Adult predatory drug users who are frequently arrested. Adult predatory drug users who are rarely arrested. Less predatory drug-involved adult offenders. Outwardly respectable adults who are frequent users. Drug-involved female offenders.

Pornography and the law

All states and the federal government prohibit the sale and production of pornographic material. The First Amendment and a number of court cases protect people's right of free expression - Pope v. Illinois.

• Chronic criminal offenders begin to abuse drugs and alcohol AFTER they have engaged in crime; that is, crime causes drug abuse. • Substance abusers turn to a life of crime to support their habits; that is, the economics of drug abuse causes crime. Employed drug users don't commit crime, only those who need money to support their habits. • Drug use and crime co-occur in individuals; that is, both crime and drug abuse are caused by some other common factor. Adolescents who are risk-takers may abuse drugs and also commit crime. Individuals with psychotic behavioral disorders may use drugs to self medicate and are also prone to crime. Psychosis may bring on both drug abuse and criminality; particularly those who also abuse drugs and alcohol tend to engage in higher levels of violence than individuals with other forms of mental illness. • Drug users engage in activities that involve them with peers who encourage them to commit crime or support or criminal activity. Kids who join gangs are more likely later to abuse substances and commit crime. • Drug abusers face social problems that lead them to crime. They are more likely to drop out of school, be underemployed, engage in premarital sex, and become unmarried parents. Social problems and not drug use are the cause of crime.

Although the drug-crime connection is powerful, the true relationship is still uncertain because many users have had a history of criminal activity before the onset of their substance abuse. It is possible that...

Temperance movement

An effort to prohibit the sale of liquor in the United States that resulted in the passage of the 18th amendment to the constitution in 1919, which prohibited the sale of alcoholic beverages.

Behavioral treatments

Behavioral treatments help patients engage in the treatment process, modify their attitudes and behaviors related to drug abuse, and increase healthy life skills. These treatments can also enhance the effectiveness of medications and help people stay in treatment longer. Outpatient behavioral treatment encompasses a wide variety of programs for patients who visit a clinic at regular intervals. Most of the programs involve individual or group drug counseling. Residential treatment programs can also be very effective, especially for those with more severe problems. Therapeutic communities (TCs) are highly structured programs in which patients remain at a residence, typically for 6 to 12 months. TCs differ from other treatment approaches principally in their use of the community—treatment staff in those in recovery—as a key agent of change to influence patient attitudes, perceptions, and behaviors associated with drug use. Patients in TCs may include those with relatively long history of drug addiction, involvement in serious criminal activities, and seriously impaired social functioning. TCs are now also being designed to accommodate the needs of women who are pregnant or have children. The focus of the TC is on the resocialization of the patient to a drug-free, crime free lifestyle.

• 78% of violent crimes. • 83% of property crimes. • 77% of weapon offenses. • 77% of probation or parole violations Source: National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse (CASA), "Behind Bars II: Substance Abuse and America's Prison Population," February 2010, http://www.casacolumbia.org/addiction-research/reports/substance-abuse-prison-system-2010.

The CASA study also found that alcohol and drugs are significant factors in the commission of many crimes. Alcohol and drugs are involved in the following...

• Since the war on drugs began, the Supreme Court has sent a consistent message that when it comes to fighting drug crime, privacy and personal liberties take a backseat. In most drug related cases brought before the Court, the majority has favored scaling back constitutional protections, clearing the way for drug policies that infringe on our rights to free speech, religious expression, and protection from unreasonable searches. Police now routinely search individuals without cause, raid homes on flimsy evidence, and engage in racial profiling. Employers, schools, and hospitals may conduct suspicion-less drug testing. • Public health problems like HIV and hepatitis C are all exacerbated by draconian laws that keep users in hiding and restrict their access to clean needles. And when they get caught and go to prison their families suffer: children of inmates are at risk of educational failure, joblessness, addiction, and delinquency. People suffering from cancer, AIDS, and other debilitating illnesses are regularly denied access to their medicine or even arrested and prosecuted for using medical marijuana. • Policies that exclude and discriminate against people with a conviction are numerous and varied and have effectively created a permanent second-class status for millions of Americans. Given the systemic racism inherent in the drug war, these lifelong exclusions inequitably affect individuals and communities of color. A drug arrest can result in even a legal resident's deportation. • A drug arrest can result in denying child custody, voting rights, employment, business loans, trade licensing, student aid, and even public housing and other public assistance. Relative to the crime being committed, the punishments for drug law violations are unjustifiably harsh and cause more harm than the drug itself. • The drug war creates racial discrimination by law-enforcement and disproportionate drug war misery suffered by communities of color. Although rates of drug use and selling are comparable across racial lines, people of color are far more likely to be stopped, searched, arrested, prosecuted, convicted, and incarcerated for drug law violations than are whites. The mass criminalization of people of color, particularly young African-American men, is as profound a system of racial control as the Jim Crow laws were in this country until the mid-1960s. • The drug war is responsible for hundreds of billions of wasted tax dollars and misallocated government spending, as well as devastating human costs that far outweigh the damage caused by drugs alone. The war on drugs has also driven the drug trade underground, creating a violent illicit market that is responsible for far too many lost lives and broken communities. Organized crime, gangs, and drug cartels have the most to gain financially from prohibition, and these profits can easily be funneled into arm smuggling, violence, and corruption. The devastation wrought by Mexican cartels in particular has made it far to costly to continue with a failed prohibition strategy.

The Drug Policy Alliance, a national organization dedicated to ending the war against drugs, cites a number of reasons why the drug war should end and drugs should be decriminalized. Give examples.

• On October 1, 1983, 12-year-old Polly Klaas was having a slumber party when a man holding a knife entered her bedroom, tied up all the girls, put pillowcases over their heads, and kidnapped the sobbing Polly. Her body was found three months later. Her kidnapper and killer, Richard Allen Davis, is currently on death row in California. • On June 5, 2002, Elizabeth Smart was abducted from her bedroom in Salt Lake City, Utah, and held captive until found nine months later. Elizabeth had been kidnapped by Brian David Mitchell, who was indicted for kidnapping and sent to a mental health facility after being ruled mentally unfit to stand trial. After six years in psychiatric custody Mitchell was deemed fit to stand trial. Found guilty of rape and kidnapping, he was sentenced to life in prison on May 25, 2011. • Between 2002 and 2004, Ariel Castro kidnapped Michelle Knight, Amanda Berry, and Georgina "Gina" DeJesus and held them in his house on Seymour Avenue in Cleveland until May 6, 2013, when Berry was able to shout through a locked door and alert the neighbors. The women had been raped and beaten continually. Knight had become pregnant five times and endured miscarriage brought on by beatings and starvation. Berry had also become pregnant and had a six-year-old daughter at the time of her rescue. After his arrest, Castro pleaded guilty to 937 criminal counts of rape, kidnapping, and aggravated murder and was sentenced to life in prison without the chance of parole plus 1000 years. Castro hanged himself in his prison cell within a month of his incarceration.

The Dugard kidnapping is not unique. What are the other cases that have received national attention?

Debating morality

The debate over morality has existed for all of recorded history. Certain crimes are believed to erode the moral fabric of society and are therefore prohibited and punished. One of the functions of the criminal law is to give expression to the collective feeling of revulsion toward certain acts.

Controlling prostitution

The federal Mann Act (1925) prohibited bringing women into the country or transporting them across state lines for the purpose of prostitution. Today, prostitution is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine or a short jail sentence. The Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 makes it a criminal offense to travel abroad for the purpose of engaging in sexual activity.

Drugs and the law

The federal government first initiated legal action to curtail the use of some drugs early in the twentieth century. - Pure Food and Drug Act, 1906. - Harrison Narcotics Act, 1914. - Marijuana Tax Act, 1937. - Boggs Act, 1951. - Durham-Humphrey Act of 1951. - Narcotic Control Act of 1956. - Drug Abuse Control Act, 1965. - Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act, 1970. - The 1984 Controlled Substances Act. - The Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986. - The Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988.

The Criminal Justice System.

The most common way substance abusers find themselves in treatment is by way of...

Emotional indifference

The sexual exchange is simply for economic consideration. Although the participants may know each other, their interaction has nothing to do with affection. Clients believe that the lack of involvement makes hiring a prostitute less of a hassle and less trouble than becoming involved in a romantic relationship.

Classroom-Centered (CC) and Family School Partnership (FSP) Intervention

These are universal 1st-grade interventions to reduce later onset of violence and aggressive behavior and to improve academic performance. Program strategies include classroom management and organizational strategies, reading and mathematics curricula, parent-teacher communication, and children's behavior management in the home.

Law enforcement-type efforts

These may include block watches, cooperative police-community efforts, and citizen patrols. Some of these citizen groups are nonconfrontational: they simply observe or photograph dealers, write down the license plate numbers, and then notify police. On occasion, telephone hotlines have been set up to take anonymous tips on drug activity. Other groups engage in confrontational tactics that may even include citizens arrests. Area residents have gone as far as contracting with private security firms to conduct neighborhood patrols.

Guiding Good Choices (GGC) (formerly Preparing for the Drug-Free Years)

This curriculum was designed to educate parents on how to reduce risk factors and strengthen bonding in their families. In five two-hour sessions, parents are taught skills in family involvement and interaction; setting clear expectations, monitoring behavior, and maintaining discipline; and other family management and bonding approaches.

Activity that has sexual significance for the customer.

This is a national health observance for teens to promote local events that use the National Institute on Drug Abuse's "NIDA science" to "shatter the myths" about drugs.

Caring School Community Program (formerly Child Development Project)

This is a universal family-plus-school program to reduce risk and strengthen protective factors among elementary school children. The program focuses on strengthening students' sense of community and connection to school. Research shows that this sense of community has been key to reducing drug use, violence, and mental health problems, while promoting academic motivation and achievement.

Strengthening Families Program: For Parents and Youth 10-14 (SFP 10-14).

This universal evidence-based program offers 7 2-hour sessions, each attended by youth and their parents, and is designed to help families have better communication skills, teach peer pressure skills, and prevent teen substance-abuse. It has been conducted through partnerships that include state university researchers, cooperative extension staff, local schools, and other community organizations.

Skills, Opportunity, and Recognition (SOAR)

This universal school-based intervention for grades 1 through 6 seeks to reduce childhood risks for delinquency and drug abuse by enhancing protective factors.

What can be done to reduce or control the incidence of prostitution?

• Activity that has sexual significance for the customer. • Economic transaction. • Emotional indifferences

What conditions are usually present in an commercial sexual transaction?

• Men who are predisposed to violence are more likely to be sexually aggressive towards women if they are exposed to adult material with themes of rape, violence, and/or sadism. • There is an association between watching violent pornography and engaging in domestic violence. • Serial killers have been found to collect and watch violent pornography. Some make their own "snuff" films starring their victims. • Men who are both at high risk for sexual aggression and who are very frequent users of pornography are much more likely to engage in sexual aggression than their counterparts who consume pornography less frequently.

While the pornography-violence link seems at best modest, there is a much clearer association between pornography with a violent theme and sexual violence. Research shows that...

Drug production and importation

World-wide drug epidemic may be abating, as drug cultivation is in decline.

John schools

_____ ______ focus on clients and attempt through education to steer them away from prostitution. One of the first, called the John Group, is a court-based program located in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The John Group is a court ordered treatment program that can be required as a condition of probation from men arrested for soliciting prostitutes. The intervention includes 4 group counseling sessions of about one hour each and 1 individual group session lasting about two hours. The group sessions convey information about prostitution, including legal consequences, health risks, impact on survivors (including testimony from former prostitutes) and communities, sexual addiction, pimping, and healthy relationships. The individual session is where offenders develop plans for addressing how they will meet their needs through more prosocial avenues in the future. In addition, the program includes a mandatory screening for STDs and HIV. San Francisco's First Offender Prostitution Program (FOPP) is offered to arrestees who are given the choice of paying a fee and attending a one day class (_____ _____) or being prosecuted. The program is a partnership of the San Francisco district attorney's office, the San Francisco Police Department, and a local nonprofit organization, Standing Against Global Exploitation (SAGE). Client fees support all of the costs of conducting the _____ _____ classes, as well as subsidizing police vice operations, the screening and processing of arrestees, and recovery programs for women and girls involved in commercial sex. Evaluations of the program by an independent research group (Abt Associates) found the program has been effective in substantially reducing recidivism among men arrested for soliciting prostitutes. The program has been successfully replicated in 12 other U.S. sites and adapted in more than 25 additional U.S. sites; many others are considering adopting similar programs. Source: Michael Shively, Sarah Kuck Jalbert, Ryan Kling, William Rhodes, Peter Finn, Chris Flygare, Laura Tierney, David Squires, Christina Dyous, Kristin Wheeler, and Dana Hunt, 'Fissl Report on the Evaluation of the First Offender Prostitution Program' (Cambridge, MA: Abt Associates, 2008), http://www.abtassociates.com/reports/FOPP_Evaluation_Full_report.pdf (accessed June 2016).
