Ans: Drug Addiction and Associated Problems •
Drug abusers go through withdrawal of social contact or communication. Many studies by the experts of social sciences prove that there exists a close relationship between drug addiction and crime. The compulsion for narcotic drug makes every drug addict a law violator and a criminal. Mere possession of a narcotic drug is a violation of the law. Thus, every drug addict is subject to arrest by the police. •
Most narcotic addicts get involved in various types of crime e.g. robbery, shoplifting, burglary embezzlement etc. Drug addicts may commit violent crimes since so many become psychic patients. The addicts are very weak in their social stigma i.e. the society dislikes them because of their unpredictable behaviors.
