Sociodemographical Portrait of Convicted for Drug Related Crime

Summary/Abstract: The article presents socio-demographic portrait of convicted who have been accused for the drug related crime in Lithuania. The portrait has been composed on the basis of Lithuanian data of criminal cases (2005–2009). It makes an alternative for the official statistical data which is too aggregated and imprecise in order to measure correlation between individual features and kind of crime or sentence. This kind of information gathered from criminal cases is the one that helps to evaluate relevance of penal policy. Authors also pay attention to the gap that can emerge between the real situation in a field and that one which is indicated by official criminal statistics.
