Drug use careers of offenders
- AIC research project
- Start date: January 2001 (complete)
Description
Drug use careers of offenders (DUCO) was an Attorney-General's Department funded project that sought to measure drug use, including illicit drug use, amongst sentenced offenders. Data from DUCO is used to assess the role of treatment both within and outside the correctional system, examine the intersection of drug use patterns and criminal careers and to explore issues concerning links between drug use and crime.
