Methamphetamine (MA), a central nervous system stimulating recreational drug, is a worldwide problem related to crime as well as forensic and health aspects. The data, exemplarily presented in this study for the Dresden region, Saxony, Germany, demonstrate the escalation of MA-related crime and fatalities between 2005 and 2011. Easy availability and an attractive price of MA in the Czech Republic are responsible for both the increase of the occurrence of MA in relation to the entire drug crime as well as the increase of the occurrence of MA-positive cases of driving under influence (DUI). Higher percentage of very pure MA on the Saxon drug market since 2010 seems to be the reason for the fatalities directly caused by MA in 2010 and 2011.
甲基苯丙胺（MA）是一种中枢神经系统兴奋剂，是一种与犯罪以及法医和健康方面有关的全球性问题。本研究以德累斯顿地区（德国萨克森州）为例，展示了 2005 年至 2011 年间与 MA 相关的犯罪和死亡事件的上升情况。MA 在捷克共和国的易得性和吸引力的价格导致了 MA 在整个毒品犯罪中的发生率上升，以及 MA 阳性的酒后驾车（DUI）病例的发生率上升。自 2010 年以来，萨克森毒品市场上更高比例的非常纯的 MA 似乎是 2010 年和 2011 年 MA 直接导致死亡的原因。
