- Summary:
-
Women's drug use is believed to be a defining factor in their participation in crime ... This paper outlines Australian and international research on the links between women's drug use and their criminal behaviour. It first describes the common risk factors for these activities, then reviews key data and research on women's drug use and offending patterns. Finally it considers these issues together. The paper notes that there is currently no national survey of women inmates' experience of drug use and offending and suggests that there is a need for this type of information to be collected for policy purposes.
