Northern Territory Report Summary: The National Drug Law Enforcement Research Fund commissioned research to enhance law enforcement understanding of the impact of benzodiazepine and pharmaceutical opiate use on crime in three select Australian jurisdictions where there was evidence of emergent or consolidated illicit markets: Victoria, Tasmania and the Northern Territory. The aims were to gain understanding of illicit benzodiazepine and pharmaceutical opiate market characteristics, investigate the hypothesized relationship between benzodiazepine and pharmaceutical opiate use and crime, explore the implications for emergency services staff and consider appropriate interventions to address the impact on law enforcement and health. The current research replicated core methods in the three target jurisdictions in four stages over a 14-month period commencing April 2003: interviews with law enforcement personnel, two surveys of benzodiazepine and pharmaceutical opiate users, analysis of secondary indicator data and in-depth interviews with key informants. This report focuses only on the Northern Territory findings. Details: Hobart, Tasmania: National Drug Law Enforcement Research Fund, 2007. 241p.
