Arrest-referral is an intervention scheme that may reduce dependant drug use and drug related crime.

Drug misuse declared in 2000: Results from the British Crime Survey.
The extent of illicit drug misuse in Britain continues to be an area of keen interest for Government policy, the media and the public into the 21st century, as it was throughout the1990s.

At the margins: drug use by vulnerable young people in the 1998/99 Youth Lifestyles Survey
This Home Office report presents an analysis of data from the 1998/99 Youth Lifestyles Survey (YLS) which included a representative sample of almost 5,000 young people aged between 12 and 30 years of age. It focuses on levels of drug use by vulnerable young people such as serious and persistent offenders, rough sleepers, serial runaways, truants and those excluded from school. All of these groups were found to have high rates of drug use. The report also considers access to drugs, and the patterns of drug-related behaviour and offending in comparison with other young people of the same age.

Policing and the Public: Findings from the 2000 British Crime Survey
The BCS 2000 asked people about their contacts with the police, and what their views were on the performance of the police overall. Victims of crimes were also questioned as to what they thought about the service they had received from the police, including evaluating their response time, levels of interest and effort, and how well the police had kept them informed.

The Drugs Prevention Advisory Service (DPAS) have published an evaluation of the project and its effect on drugs education in the area.
Arrest Referral Monitoring Programme - statistics
A key objective in the government’s drug strategy ‘Tackling Drugs to Build a Better Britain’ is to protect communities from drug-related anti-social and criminal behaviour. This is to be achieved in particular by referring drug-misusing offenders at police custody suites into appropriate drug treatment services, so that their drug problem can be tackled.
Drink and Disorder: Alcohol, crime and anti-social behaviour
This Nacro Policy report provides an in-depth examination of the relationship between alcohol and crime.
