Toolbox - party drugs and crime (translations)

Four papers make up the EUCPN toolbox on party drugs and crime, the following parts have been translated:

Understanding the phenomenon
The term ‘party drugs’ does not refer to a specific pharmacological composition, but refers instead to drugs used with the intention of creating or enhancing recreational experiences, whether these be legal or illegal substances. The focus of this paper lies on understanding the relationship between party drugs and crime, and more specifically the risks associated with going out.

Effective approaches
The goal of this paper is to provide insights into the approaches taken to risks at recreational settings and the evidence that is available for them. We can conclude that multi-component interventions are recommended, as the different actors offer a broad perspective to help tackle problems and produce a wide range of interventions.

This toolbox was written in the light of the Croatian Presidency of the EUCPN.
