Introduction

I. Introduction
In recent years, the drug has always been a popular issue. In the global village , most of countries regard the drug as a devilry, if you takes drugs, you are guilty. The purpose of the government to inhibit the drug is to prevent the criminal behavior, personal health, marriage rupture, familial difficult and the most important—the social issue. Thus, when people want to take drugs, they smuggle.
In the global village, there are one hundred forty countries around the world. We found a special country—Netherlands. Few years ago, Netherlands was not lawful to take drugs, so the crime rate was extremely high, the drug addicts were staying at a high level. But, strangely, after the Netherlands government opened up to drugs, the crime rate had an unexpected vary, and the drug addicts seemed decreasing. All sorts of phenomena are curious and worth discussing. Likewise, Taiwan has many drug addicts as well. If Taiwan’s government also opened up to drugs, would people accepted this decision? Or the drug addicts would be further rampant?
In modern society, “crime” is a universal problem. Many people crime because they need money, some of this people stole money to buy the drugs. And after they take drugs, they feel excited, having an illusion. As a result, the drug addicts crime again. Like this vicious circle, lots of drug addicts become the criminal.
This essay will discuss the relationship between drugs and the crime rate, compare the Netherlands crime rate with Taiwan’s crime rate, the Taiwanese viewpoint of the drugs opened.

Dutch officials don’t know what to do about Holland’s drug culture. Near the Ministry of Justice in the Hague, and visible from its windows, is an area of the Dutch capital where many of the unemployed grow marijuana for a living. While continuing to receive about $1,200 per month from the state for doing nothing, they earn up to $6,000 a month as well (tax free, of course) by cultivating pot in their apartments. The easy money, observers report, has reduced the crime rate.
It still isn’t legal in Holland to grow or to sell marijuana, but apart from occasional police raids, not much effort goes into suppressing the trade. Such prosecutions as there are result in confiscation of the horticultural equipment (which the drug-dealers replace within the week) and an easily affordable $1,200 fine.
The minister of justice does not like the trade but is in a quandary about how to respond. Three possible courses of action present themselves: to take serious measures to suppress the trade; to legalize it, either by creating a state monopoly or by allowing anyone to grow and sell the drug; or to allow the present situation to continue. All three have their inconveniences.
Suppression would drive up the price of marijuana, reinforcing the motive for breaking the law. The increased risk of growing marijuana might easily spark a resurgence of gangsterism; and people deprived of their easy income by enforcement of the law might turn to more harmful or visible types of crime to maintain their now accustomed standard of living.
The legalization of the cultivation and distribution of marijuana in turn would drive down the price and deprive the unemployed of much of their income, drastically reducing their now accustomed standard of living. Thus it too might produce not a decrease but an increase of serious crime.
The inconveniences of allowing the present state of affairs to continue are less tangible but also considerable. No doubt laws have always been on the books whose purpose is more to promote discretion among those who break their precepts than to enforce strict adherence; but widespread, open, and profitable lawbreaking will before long exert a corrupting effect upon the whole of society. If the state winks at large incomes procured by what it still considers to be criminal activity, why should anyone feel obliged to obey the law? The minister of justice does not think that the state should allow its least educated, productive, and respectable class to defy it.

MY VIEW POINT

The article is mention about many people in Holland is planting marijuana to live their live. So their government do some measures to prevent many other smuggle and the risk group to control the marijuana price. And they decide to let take drug to be legal in their society. According to this article is say “The legalization of the cultivation and distribution of marijuana in turn would drive down the price and deprive the unemployed of much of their income, drastically reducing their now accustomed standard of living.” So it is relation between the criminal rate and the drug. It is conform to our topic.

Allow drugs or eitherRecently, the global criminal is still growing up like smuggle heroin and more and more drugster, but Netherland where it is allowed by taking drug, criminal rate is keeping in stable condition, and where drugster still let down. About some of this information, I'm curious about if you live in the country that allows you to take drugs do you take it? So I have to do a survey to ask our classmate about it and go to interview our society and psychology teacher to detect this thesis and know more about this country's law even though their custom. We research this topic because we want to know the relationship between criminal rate and drug. For instance, In Holland take drug rate is lower than others aren't allowed taking drugs countries. Then we like to analyze the data. Finally, we expect that allow to take drugs is not impact to the criminal rate.

The relationship between drugs and crime rateI find that recent years more and more people begin to rake drugs and some of them start commit crimes. Many people have been suffered. I want to know the relationship between drugs and crime rate? Whether the drugs influence the crime rate? Or the crime rate's increase is because of the drugs. I'll look for the Internet to find the formerly information and recent information about the crime rate compare the different between them. I hope I can take this opportunity to learn more knowledge about the drugs and why it harms the people? To the most important, why people commit a crime before they take drugs.

Nowadays, in most countries taking or selling drugs are illegal as the governments regard them as crimes. But in certain counties, like the Netherland, however, some soft drugs are permitted. Why those counties allow the drug taking and selling when they can’t be done in other counties? Is there any negative influence after making the policy? To find out the answers, firstly, we will search the information on the Internet and consult bibliographies, and then do a survey of “Whether you’ll try taking drugs if you are in the countries which is allowing drug taking”, and we’ll compare the crime rate of the Netherland with other counties which forbid people taking drugs. With these approaches, we might enable to let people understand that the crime rate and taking drug is not absolute related.

DRUG DECRIMINALIZATION IN HOLLAND HAS INCREASED CRIME AND ADDICTION

by http://www.druglibrary.org/schaffer/GOVPUBS/solom2.htm

Thursday, March 2, 1995

Interestingly, during that time the use of marijuana and other drugs drastically increased. Use also increased in adolescents despite the fact that drugs never become legal or decriminalized for that age group. The use of marijuana among high school students in Oregon during decriminalization was double that of the national average. National averages of marijuana use among high school seniors increased to 50% of seniors having used in the previous year, and 10.7% used daily.
Because of the drastic failure of lenient drug policies, steady pressure was exerted at national and local levels for restrictive drug policies. A huge national wave of high quality research, grassroots prevention organizations, and tightening of drug laws began.
Predictably, the use of drugs among `recreational' users dropped. High school seniors use of marijuana dropped to 23% of seniors using within the last year and 2% using on a daily basis. The use among hard addicts did not drop. Strangely the cry has been sounded by some that the drug war did not work. That outcry, however, was almost exclusively being sounded by individuals who favored legalization or decriminalization back in the 1970's. The same individuals who called for soft policy in the earlier era are calling for the new harm reduction policy today. Hidden within such policy is the intent to gain decriminalization of drugs .
Holland has decriminalized drugs and tried harm reduction. Since the softening of drug policy there, shootings have increased 40%, robberies 62%, and car thefts 62%. This experiment which was meant to decrease organized crime has resulted in an increase in organized crime families from 3 in 1988 to 93 today.The number of registered marijuana addicts has risen 30% and the number of other addicts has risen 22%.

Our title is "The relationship between drugs and crime rate in Holland". This article was written about 13 years ago after the Holland government made the drugs legal. And I learn that after the Holland government made the drugs legal, the crime rate getting more higher and the people take drugs is getting more too. So, according to this article, I think the relationship between the drugs and crime rate in Holland is not only close but also the key for people to crime.
This article was 13 years ago written. So we want to search the crime rate's vary from 1995 to 2008 in Holland.
