Drug-related crime
In many countries, it is forbidden to manufacture or trade certain drugs, which are regulated by the government. Usually, these drugs can be abused easily. Crimes related to the production or distribution of these drugs are called drug-related crimes. Drugs are also related to crime as drug trafficking and drug production are often controlled by drug cartels, organised crime and gangs. Some drug-related crime involves crime against the person such as robbery or sexual assaults.
