Drugs and Crime Correlation
For persons charged with Part I crimes in 2014, the following table shows the percentages that were arrested for various drug (and alcohol) charges from 2010-2014. For instance, of the people who were arrested for any robbery charge in Portland in 2014, 7.2% were arrested for a cocaine charge, in Portland, during 2010-2014. Relatively small numbers of arrests for homicide, rape and arson cause wide variations in the percentages in those categories. Alcohol continues to be the substance with the closest correlation with most Part I crimes, although burglary, larceny and motor vehicle theft see heavy influence from methamphetamine and other controlled substances as well.
