Question by : Anybody know the statistics of crime caused by drugs in ireland?
I’m doing an essay for school that deals with the connection between crime and drugs. I just want to find out a few statistics to put into my essay. Like the percentage of crime caused by people taking drugs. Suicides because of the addiction.
