Hello lulia, As a forensic scientist and geneticist i must say yes. There is a strong relationship between drug abuse and criminal behaviors.You can easily Google the stats of this happening. There are alot of researchers who worked on certain drug use and it's effects on addictions and then criminal behavior. My own research topic was a gene polymorphism study in alcohol and drug addicts. ( which leads to more criminal activities). Alot of crimes occur in people when they are not sober, alot of crimes happen because of the drugs like in the need of the drug, when addicts don't find it they get violent. Thefts, violence, hit and run, abuse are very common around drug abusers.
You are really welcome. I haven't published my thesis yet but i can definitely show you my abstract which will probably give you all the details you want 🙂
