This report presents 1991 substance abuse arrest data for South Carolina, as part of the Uniform Crime Report (UCR) series published since 1975.
Abstract
Eight tables constitute the report. Tables 1 through 6 present arrest data by sex and age group at the county and State levels for each major substance abuse arrest category. Table 7 shows arrest rates per 10,000 population, while Table 8 shows drug seizures by drug type at the county and State levels. Persons are counted on arrest reports each timethey are arrested or summoned. This means that the report's arrest counts do not reflect the number of different individuals arrested each year. In addition, the tables represent the number of arrests reported to the UCR system, not the number of offenses or convictions. Arrest categories relate to liquor laws, driving under the influence, public drunkenness, disorderly conduct, and drugs (heroin and other narcotics, marijuana, cocaine, crack cocaine, hallucinogens, stimulants, and depressants). 8 tables and 2 figures
