Title: The Drug Data Warehouse: Linking data on drug misusers and drug-misusing offenders

Summary: The Drug Data Warehouse provides a unique overview of drug misusers’ activity across the Criminal Justice System and drug treatment in a way which has not been done before. This is the first report using the Drug Data Warehouse. It provides information about this new resource and summarises the findings from initial, descriptive analysis. The analysis focuses on drug misuse (and not alcohol misuse) and in particular, the use of opiates and crack cocaine, as heroin and crack cocaine are the drugs associated with the highest levels of harm and account for 99% of the £15.4 billion social and economic cost of drug use. The report provides information on: levels of drug use of different groups of individuals within the Drug Data Warehouse; and the different treatment and criminal justice groups individuals have contact with and their movement within these groups. This report will be of interest to policymakers and practitioners both locally and nationally, as well as researchers interested in the potential the Drug Data Warehouse offers for further analysis.
