Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
Parmi les héroïnomanes souhaitant suivre un traitement à la méthadone, plus de 90% ont été arrêtés ou condamnés plus d'une fois. Leurs motivations ne sont que modérément en rapport avec les motivations de la police. Les hommes sont généralement impliqués dans la criminalité avant leur usage de drogue, les femmes plutôt après.
ENGLISH :
The relationship between crime and drug use was examined in 313 Australian opioid addicts who applied for entry to methadone treatment. More than 90% of them had recorded one or more convictions for property or drug offences. Subjects'self-reported convictions were moderately correlated with convictions recorded by the police. Men were more likely to begin their opioid use at or after their first criminal conviction, while women were more likely to begin offending after they used opioids. (Extract from author's abstract)
