Drug law enforcement efforts have been underpinned by the assumption that police deter or prevent drug use and trafficking, yet deterrent effects have gone unexamined or measured using narrow parameters. By using modern criminological conceptualisations of deterrence and innovative methods, this project aims to measure the deterrent effects of four Australian policing strategies on current and would-be offenders' decisions to use, possess and traffic illicit drugs and identify mechanisms by which police can and cannot deter. The project aims to provide detailed empirical insight into an enduring policy conundrum, namely the extent to which police can be expected to deter, and build capacity for more evidence-informed responses to drug-related crime.

禁毒执法工作的基础是这样一种假设，即警察威慑或防止吸毒和贩毒，但威慑效果没有得到审查，或使用狭隘的参数来衡量。该项目利用现代犯罪学的威慑概念和创新方法，旨在衡量澳大利亚四项警务战略对当前和潜在罪犯决定使用、拥有和贩运非法药物的威慑效果，并确定警察能够和不能起到威慑作用的机制。该项目的目的是提供详细的经验性见解，以解决一个长期存在的政策难题，即在多大程度上可以预期警察能够威慑和建设能力，以便对毒品相关犯罪采取更加循证的对策。
