Abstract:
|
This paper provides an exploration of the impact of methamphetamine on the criminal justice system in four counties in Western Colorado, using data from court records research, probation, and community corrections. The paper examines the impact meth has on the courts, and demonstrates how meth users are responsible for numerous non-drug crimes. While methamphetamine is routinely associated with a variety of crimes in western U.S. communities, there has been little empirical evidence to demonstrate the actual impact. This paper provides a detailed analysis of the scope and range of crimes implicated and the consequences for the local criminal justice community. |
