The Prison Survey was introduced to the Scottish Prison Service in 1990 as a mechanism to inform and support the Service's business planning service.

Drug
Misuse
In Scotland
"This report presents
the findings on self-reported drug use, and attitudes towards drugs and
drug-taking, from the face-to-face Scottish Crime and
Victimisation Survey (SCVS). The SCVS focuses primarily on experiences
of personal and household crime, and is designed to provide a measure
of crime complementary to police recorded crime statistics. However,
there is an additional self-completion questionnaire which asks adults
about their drug misuse and experiences of domestic abuse. Questions on
these topics are particularly sensitive and the self-completion mode is
considered more effective in eliciting truthful answers."

This publication
presents figures for drug seizures made by Police forces in Scotland in
2004/05 and 2005/06. The statistics in this publication relate to drugs
controlled under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971, which divides drugs into
three classes A, B and C. On 29 January 2004 cannabis was reclassified
from class B to C. Other drugs have also changed classification during
the collection period. For the purpose of this bulletin the drug
classifications at the end of the reporting period, March 2006, have
been applied to all data. This allows historic comparisons within this
publication but care must be taken when comparing against other
historical sources of information.
