Question by Rose H: Is there a connection between drugs and crime?
Anyone have any statistics on whether drug users are more likely to commit murder/rape/get involved in assaults than non-users? I’m doing it for a debate 🙂 I know that they are more likely to get involved in robberies, to pay for their addiction, but I’m talking about the really hardcore stuff.
URLS appreciated!

Thanks 🙂
