| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study was to provide an analysis of the relationship which exists between the use of drugs and the commission of criminal acts. Specifically, this study sought to ascertain empirically whether the commission of acts of criminality by drug offenders could be attributed to the pharmacological effect of such widely abused drugs as, marijuana, the opiates, barbiturates and the other widely abused substances. In addition, this study also attempted to ascertain whether any manifest dissimilarities were present between the drug offender and the non-drug abuser as a result of the comparison of certain selected variables. | |
