Drugs & Crime Facts
This site summarizes
U.S. statistics about drug-related crimes, law enforcement, courts, and
corrections from Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) and non-BJS sources
(See Drug data produced by BJS below). It updates
the information published in Drugs and Crime Facts, 1994, (NCJ 154043)
and will be revised as new information becomes available. The data provide
policymakers, criminal justice practitioners, researchers, and the general
public with online access to understandable information on various drug
law violations and drug-related law enforcement.
