TY - JOUR PY - 1986// TI - Uses and abuses of drug law enforcement statistics JO - Trends and issues in crime and criminal justice A1 - Wardlaw, Grant A1 - Deane, Heather SP - EP - VL - 1 IS - N2 - One of the major problems in assessing drug law enforcement initiatives has been the lack of reliable statistics. This report describes the use and abuse of existing statistics, and their practical implications for drug law enforcement. Key issues are the types of drug law offences for which people are arrested; the illegal drugs involved in arrests; drug seizures; and deaths due to illegal drug use.
