Notes: For definitions of reports for drug law offences, please refer to [Methods and definitions - drug law offences] in this statistical bulletin. Percentages are based on offences for all drug types and may not sum to 100%. (1) Based on number of mentions of all drugs, whether alone or with other drugs (in the same offence). (2) Based on number of mentions of drugs considered as main drugs. (3) Among all offences broken down by drug (for some offences, a breakdown by drug is not available). (4) Among offences for drug dealing/trafficking (since offences for drug use/possession for use are not criminalised). (5) Data under 'cannabis' refer to 'soft drugs' (mainly cannabis). Data under 'heroin' refer to 'hard drugs' (defined as drugs which pose unacceptable public health risks, such as heroin, cocaine, LSD and ecstasy). Offences involving both 'soft drugs' and 'hard drugs' are not included here. (6) The proportions are underestimated, since they represent offences for one drug alone - e.g. offences for cannabis do not include offences for cannabis + other drug(s). (7) Among persons given a summary fine by the prosecutor or sentenced by a court. Source: Reitox national focal points | |||||
