Drug-related Crime (Hansard, 2 March 1992)

HC Deb 02 March 1992 vol 205 c42W 42W

§ Mr. Corbett
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what estimate he has made of the proportion of crime which is drug-related.

§ Mr. John Patten
The latest estimates are published in paragraph 2.4 of the 1991 report "Drug Misusers and the Criminal Justice System: Part 1 Community resources and the probation service" by the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs, a copy of which is in the Library. These however relate only to heroin misusers and do not include estimates for crimes by other drug misusers.
