Abstract
Recently, drug use has become a major social problem in Japan. Therefore, this study examined recent trends of drug use in detail. Specifically, this report researched the number of people arrested for drug-related offenses in the 8 years since 2001 and it discusses measures to prevent drug use. During the period studied, the proportion of drug-related offenses related to ‘stimulants’ has decreased, despite those drugs accounting for the highest proportion of such offenses, and the proportion of offenses related to ‘cannabis’ has increased markedly. Therefore, organizations implementing measures to prevent drug-related offenses should be aware of the recent increase in the number of people arrested for ‘cannabis’ and the high proportion of arrests for ‘stimulants’.
