Résumé : | This paper seeks to compare the drugs situation in a number of developed countries. Data from eight indicators are for the first time compared across six European countries (Denmark, Germany, The Netherlands, Portugal, Sweden, the United Kingdom) the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The paper highlights the difficulty in assessing some of these indicators, primarily because a reliance on routine data collections for many of the indicators means that they not measured the same way across countries. Moreover, in many countries, no routine data collection captures some of the indicators at all. Mindful of the difficulties with making direct comparisons or drawing firm policy conclusions from the raw data, the brief comments upon the data collected and reviews the indicators before considering some opportunities for future work. It is hoped that the data and discussion presented will not only stimulate further research, but also be of use to analysts and policy makers in helping to inform their search for effective policy and programme responses to the continuing challenges posed by illicit drug markets around the world.
