About the Authors
  • Drug-Crime Connections challenges the assumption that there is a widespread association between drug use and crime. Instead, it argues that there are many highly specific connections. Trevor Bennett and Katy Holloway draw together in a single volume a wide range of findings from a study of nearly 5,000 arrestees interviewed as part of the New English and Welsh Arrestee Drug Abuse Monitoring (NEW-ADAM) program. They investigate specific drug-crime connections and other topics, such as gender and drugs, ethnicity and drugs, gangs, guns, drug markets, and treatment needs.

    • Brings together in one volume the results of a national survey of a large sample of arrestees in the UK exploring drug use and crime
    • Investigates less-common themes in drug-crime connections, such as multiple drug use, gender, ethnicity, and gun possession
    • Each chapter begins with an up-to-date review of the topic's literature, followed by a summary of results

    “Trevor Bennett and Katy Holloway have made a major contribution to our understanding of the complex relationship between drugs and crime—one of the most important and perplexing issues to confront criminology in recent decades. Drug-Crime Connections is more than a ‘must read’; it belongs on the book shelves of drugs researchers and policymakers worldwide who will consult it frequently for its balanced and measured assessment of the evidence.” -Richard Wright, Curators’ Professor of Criminology and Criminal Justice, University of Missouri-St. Louis
