Drugs and Crime

The study examines the drug use patterns and criminal behaviour of detainees from various watch-houses in Queensland, New South Wales, Western Australia and South Australia. The data was collected through the Drug Use Monitoring in Australia (DUMA) by the Australian Institute of Criminology, state police services and local researchers. The report makes direct state comparisons on illicit drug use in watch-houses, and monitors drug usage in watch-houses in Queensland over time.
