Although extensive research efforts since the early 1970s have explored the causal relationship between narcotic use and property crime, the relationship between drug use patterns generally and related criminal involvement is not well understood. A low-cost feasibility study is proposed using arrestee data obtained from an on-going needs assessment survey conducted as part of the California Drug Use Forecasting (CAL-DUF) Program, funded for data collection by the National Institute of Justice and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service Administration, Center for Substance Abuse Treatment. The proposed research will examine the relationships between drug use by arrestees and their official criminal histories through analysis of existing data from two sources. The first source is a full year of DUF data collection, augmented by extensive additional information, is Los Angeles County for the period July 1, 1994 through June 30, 1995 (N=1289). The second source is longitudinal data ("rap sheets") routinely collected on all arrests in California by the Bureau of Criminal Statistic. (BCS) and organized both chronologically and by individual. This data base has automated information from 1972 to the present. Secondary analysis of the data resulting from merging these two sources at the individual arrestee level will: (1) Examine the association between drug use and criminal history, as represented by arrests: (2) Identify the drug-crime arrest patterns from initiation, progression, cessation, and resumption of the drug use and criminal careers, documenting the frequency, timing, and types of criminal activity; and (3) Assess the effects of demographic, situational, and psychosocial variables in moderating or mediating the identified patterns of the drug-crime relationship. The proposed research will yield both substantive and practical contributions that are likely to be of interest to many in the research, criminal justice, and drug treatment communities. It will indicate potential causal relationships between drug use and crime that merit further research, nd it will suggest ways to improve crime control interventions for drug-using offenders.

尽管自20世纪70年代初以来的广泛研究努力探索了 毒品使用与财产犯罪之间的因果关系， 一般吸毒方式与相关犯罪的关系 人们还不能很好地理解这一点。一项低成本的可行性研究 建议使用从持续需求评估中获得的被捕者数据 作为加州药物使用预测(CAL-DUF)的一部分进行的调查 该计划由国家司法研究所资助，用于数据收集 和药物滥用和精神卫生服务管理局，中心 接受药物滥用治疗。拟议的研究将审查 被捕者吸毒与其职务犯罪的关系 通过分析来自两个来源的现有数据来了解历史。第一 来源是一整年的DUF数据收集，并增加了广泛的 更多信息，是洛杉矶县1994年7月1日的情况 至1995年6月30日(N=1289)。第二个来源是纵向数据 (“犯罪记录”)例行收集加州所有逮捕的案件 犯罪统计局。(BCS)，并按时间顺序组织 和个人。这个数据库从1972年到现在拥有自动化信息 就是现在。对合并后的数据进行二次分析 在个人被逮捕者一级的两个消息来源将：(1)审查 毒品使用和犯罪历史之间的联系，如 逮捕：(2)从开始就确定毒品犯罪的逮捕模式， 药物使用和犯罪的进展、停止和恢复 职业，记录犯罪的频率、时间和类型 活动；以及(3)评估人口、情景和 调节或调停已识别模式的心理社会变量 毒品与犯罪的关系。拟议的研究将产生这两个结果 可能感兴趣的实质性和实际贡献 对研究、刑事司法和戒毒界的许多人来说。 它将表明吸毒和犯罪之间的潜在因果关系。 这值得进一步研究，并将提出改善犯罪的方法 控制对吸毒者的干预。
