Beckley Report Number 5 - Reducing drug related crime: An overview of global evidence
1 January 2006
This report, the 5th in the BFDPP series, looks at the global evidence base for the reduction of drug related crime. The report looks at three types of drug related crime (violence associated with illegal drug markets, crimes committed by individuals under the influence of drugs, and petty crime committed by drug users to pay for their drug purchases), and attempts to summarise the current research knowledge on which policies and actions have (or have not) been effective in reducing their impacts on society.
