PO - Reduce Crime due to Opioid Misuse
Return to Reduce Crime Due to Opioid Misuse & Law Enforcement Costs
Description of Objective
Success in strategies to reduce the misuse of opioids should lead to measurable reductions in crime due to opioid misuse, less stress and cost on law enforcement departments, and lower costs relating to justice services and incarceration.
From-To Gap Regarding Crime Due to Opioid Misuse & Law Enforcement Costs
| Current State | Desired State | |
| Two-thirds of abusers are shown as being actively involved in crimes as a way of getting money to pay for their addiction.[1] | Providing MAT should dramatically reduce the need for people with an OUD to commit crimes that would otherwise be committed. This makes communities safer. | |
| Communities and individuals suffer from three types of crimes: alcohol and substance-defined, alcohol and drug-related, and lifestyle.[2] Current efforts often focus on trying to deter these types of crime with the threat of punishment, which is largely ineffective. |
Adopting evidence-based strategies has led to the reduction in all three types of crimes.
| |
| High law enforcement costs due to accidental overdoses and the previously mentioned types of crime. [3] | Reduction in law enforcement costs have been realized and communicated. This helps build the return on investment case for spending money on prevention, treatment and recovery supports. | |
