Drug culture refers to the set of behaviors, beliefs, and actions that are influenced by the use of illegal drugs. It encompasses the attitudes and practices of individuals who engage in the illicit consumption of controlled substances, and the social norms and values that emerge from this behavior. Drug culture is characterized by a range of practices, including drug use, drug trafficking, drug-related crime, and drug-related health problems.

Record 4 2010-12-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Drugs and Drug Addiction
  • Offences and crimes
  • Criminology
CONT

Drugs are related to crime in multiple ways. Most directly, it is a crime to use, possess, manufacture, or distribute drugs classified as having a potential for abuse(such as cocaine, heroin, marijuana, and amphetamines). Drugs are also related to crime through the effects they have on the user's behavior and by generating violence and other illegal activity in connection with drug trafficking.

OBS

deal: sell (illegal drugs).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Drogues et toxicomanie
  • Infractions et crimes
  • Criminologie
CONT

Le problème du trafic de stupéfiants ne peut être résolu uniquement à l'échelle nationale, mais exige une coopération internationale. À cet égard, les pays fournisseurs et les pays consommateurs doivent collaborer davantage, de même que les pays qui servent au transit entre pays fournisseurs et pays consommateurs.

CONT

Les effets secondaires du narcotrafic - par exemple la violence qui va de pair avec la production, le trafic et la distribution de drogues illicites - peuvent causer la mort d'innocents. Qui plus est, les drogues illicites sont lourdes de conséquences, sur le plan social et au chapitre de la santé, pour les familles et les jeunes.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
