Mr. Sarwar: To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what studies his Department has commissioned to ascertain what amount of
crime is drug-related in Scotland. [34017]
Mr. McLeish: The Scottish Office commissioned research on "Heroin Use and Crime" by the Addictions Research Group of the University
of Strathclyde, which was published in 1990. We are currently funding a collaborative study, which is being carried out at Ruchill
Hospital, to assess whether methadone prescribing in Glasgow is associated with changes in drug injecting, crime, health and social
functioning. The relationship between crime and substance misuse remains a priority area for future research.
