Alcohol problems in the criminal justice system: an opportunity for intervention
28 de Março de 2014
Since 1995, the WHO Regional Office for Europe has had a special programme on prison health with the aim of integrating the topic into the overall public health agenda. Substance abuse is one of the main problems among prisoners and illicit drugs are frequently used in prisons.
Alcohol use, however, is less of a problem, although there is a strong link between alcohol and crime, in particular violent crime. Alcohol does not easily pass through prison walls, but studies show that 18–30% of men and 10–24% of women either abuse alcohol or are dependent on it before they are sent to prison.
