Abstract
Drugs: The New Farm Aid?Track: Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice
Author(s): Kenneth A. Clontz, J. Gayle Mericle
According to the media, drugs are spreading from urban environments to rural areas. But are they? The current research examines this issue by mapping the location of drug offenses and arrests from 1989 to 1999. Using ArcView, the data is analyzed to discover if officially recorded incidents of various drug violations have actually spread from urban settings into rural locales.
