Recently, drug use has become a major social problem in Japan. Therefore, this study examined recent trends of drug use in detail. Specifically, this report researched the number of people arrested for drug-related offenses in the 8 years since 2001 and it discusses measures to prevent drug use. During the period studied, the proportion of drug-related offenses related to 'stimulants' has decreased, despite those drugs accounting for the highest proportion of such offenses, and the proportion of offenses related to 'cannabis' has increased markedly. Therefore, organizations implementing measures to prevent drug-related offenses should be aware of the recent increase in the number of people arrested for 'cannabis' and the high proportion of arrests for 'stimulants'.
近年来，吸毒已成为日本一个重大的社会问题。因此，本研究详细考察了吸毒的近期趋势。具体而言，本报告研究了自2001年以来8年间因涉毒犯罪被捕的人数，并探讨了预防吸毒的措施。在研究期间，与“兴奋剂”相关的涉毒犯罪比例有所下降，尽管这类毒品在涉毒犯罪中占比最高，而与“大麻”相关的犯罪比例则显著上升。因此，实施预防涉毒犯罪措施的机构应意识到近期因“大麻”被捕人数的增加以及因“兴奋剂”被捕的高比例情况。
