Previous research has shown that people released from prison face an elevated risk of drug-related death, particularly in the weeks immediately following release.

A new study from ADR Scotland reveals that children growing up in poverty are more likely to engage in criminal or anti-social behaviour at an early age. The research, using data from the Growing Up in Scotland study, found that children who offended by age 12, were more likely than other children to live in households experiencing persistent poverty based on relative low income.
This Data Insight presents findings from ADR Scotland research, which suggest that reducing child poverty might prevent early offending. However, a range of other factors would need to be addressed too.
