Résumé :
This report describes the findings of a study designed to provide a snapshot of the policing of cannabis in England and Wales. It focuses on the offence of possession. It examines the relationship between policy and practice, how offences of possession come to light, how they are dealt with, and the financial and social consequences of current practice. Chapter 2 examines cannabis use and cannabis legislation, ending with an examination of recent proposals for change and European approaches to policing cannabis. Chapter 3 describes who comes to the attention of the police and how operational officers enforce the cannabis legislation. Chapter 4 examines police and court disposals for possession offences. Chapter 5 explores the cost of policing cannabis - both social and financial, and, finally, Chapter 6 offers a discussion on the policing of cannabis offences and the impact of reclassifying the drug from Class B to Class C.
Appendix 1 provides the full methodology of the study. Appendix 2 outlines the rules that govern police stop and search powers and Appendix 3 provides a glossary of terms used in the report. (From the document)
