Abstract

The study regarding the relation of causality between the consumption of drugs and delinquency reveals the vicious circle formed by the drugs, crime and social misfitting, because only knowing the relation of causality between them and the transformations at the level of the individual, projects and programs may be developed in support of the individuals, for their psycho-somatic recovery and for social reintegration. The starting hypotheses referred to the following aspects: the consumption of drugs leads to committing crimes; the consumption of drugs and the crimes alter the features of personality at the level of the social fitting of the individual. The crime associated particularly to the traffic and consumption of drugs is one of the most serious problems confronting the society at this moment. This survey performed in Romania leads to a better understanding of the phenomenon. The problem of the drugs is a national and international concern and it forms the object of many debates within the specialised UNO and EU structures.
