Thus, in order for control policies to succeed it requires systematic preventive education measures and effective policy on controlling repeated offences and resocialization.
The「Survey on Preventive Measures for Drug Use and the Social Rehabilitation of Drug Addicts」was conducted to investigate the current state of measures for the prevention of drug abuse and social rehabilitation of drug addicts and to collect basic data for the establishment of legal reform measures for its revitalization. The survey was conducted among professionals.
