This paper answers three questions based on drugs, focusing on usage, crime and treatment. The first is “to what extent can it be said that drug use is increasingly ‘normalised’ in UK society, and what implications does ‘normalisation’ have for our understanding of and responses to drug use”. The second is “Drug use and crime are clearly linked but to what extent can it be said that drug use causes crime?” The last question is “What are the advantages and disadvantages of embedding drug treatment (for drug using offenders) within the criminal justice system?”
