There is actually no relationship between drugs and violence

ByGiuseppe Bognanni

In general, drugs are often held images related to violence, such as "becoming violent when taking drugs" and "violence being inflated on markets dealing with drugs", but in recent years Studies have revealed that there is no firm connection between drugs and violence. So, why did it come to think that "There is a relationship between drugs and violence", and in fact, how much is the rate at which drug addicts exercise violence is studied in law at Utah University Professor Shima Bowman is explaining.

In the Michigan state trial in the United States in 1991, "Drug addicts are likely to be involved in crime due to changes in physiology / cognitive ability and mood due to taking drugs" "Drug addicts purchase drugs "Drugs and violence are related" as can be seen from the story described in the wind that "violent crime can be born from drug business and drug culture" in the possibility of involving crime in search of money The idea is often based on justice judgment. Also, as drag crime is defined as "violent crime" in the United States, drag and violence are legally set as well, so even those who are living a life unrelated to violence have been caught in possession of drugs Even so, it is regarded as dangerous and will be detained.

Why is the relation between drugs and violence recognized by trial or law, there are a few aspects to make the investigation smooth. In other words, if there is a strong connection between drag and violence, it means "There should be firearms and weapons in the house of drug addicts", so it is easier for home investigation, permission for seizure and seizure to fall, legitimate It is easy to recognize sex.

However, on the other hand, the claim that the defendant taking drugs "became violent by the influence of drugs" is often not admitted. Even if you insist that "a drag dealer of an opposing organization brought a firearm", there is a case that the relationship between drugs and violence is not recognized. From this also, "the relationship between drugs and violence" is not considered as the basis for defending the defendant 's rights, but it is considered to be used to limit the rights.

Of course, it is possible to think that a specific drug addict is associated with a crime, but in reality many of the drug criminals are not related to violence, and in general "There is connection with drugs and violence" The situation is not easy enough to make a conclusion saying.

Also, as a result of investigating more than 100,000 preliminary hearings before the trial of a drug criminal who was arrested for professor Boehman or ordered a non-penal fine, drug criminals actually found at trial were "connected with violence" I know that it is rather less than other group criminals. Some researchers claim that "Violence of the recipient is rather reduced by taking a drug that is regarded as illegal now." At the same time, it is also known that criminals who were overpaid by violence are two to three times more dangerous than drug criminals.

Furthermore, in the 1997 survey, the percentage of people who committed a conviction for violence among those who committed a drug crime is indicated as 12%, and in the 2002 survey, people who are imprisoned with violence and public order and morals Of the people, we know that only 5% of the people who were money money buying drugs. In Mexico where trading of drag over the past 100 years has taken place, even if we see that the violent crime has increased extremely in the last ten years, the market dealing with drugs moves in a place unrelated to violent crime You can see that it is.

Recent research has pointed out that violence is caused not by drugs but by economic difficulties and lack of knowledge, aggressive temperament of people, personality disorder, and "relationship between drugs and violence" is at best "uncertain It is something that can only be stated to the extent that "is". However, despite the progress of research in recent years, even now, in the laws and trials in the United States, drugs and violence are moving on the premise that "drugs and violence are tied strongly", so that drug criminals are more severely punished than other crimes It is the current situation.
