\u25cf\u25cf <\/span>At the national level, 20,934 Class A drug-misusing individuals in England and Wales were identified between 1 January 2008 and 31 March 2008 to form the national cohort.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u25cf\u25cf <\/span>During the 12 months following identification, individuals in the cohort were<\/span><\/p>\n

offending of 2.60 offences per individual.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u25cf\u25cf <\/span>Sixty-one per cent of the national cohort were convicted of at least one offence in the 12 months following identification. Twenty-five per cent were convicted of either one or two offences, while 16 per cent were convicted of more than five offences.<\/span><\/p>\n

misusers on release from prison and who also tested positive for Class A drugs on<\/span><\/p>\n

arrest, had a rate of proven offending that was markedly higher than any other group of offenders in the cohort (5.59 proven offences per individual).<\/span><\/p>\n
