Arrests resulting from drug-related offending from January through December 2007 were compared between an urban and a rural county, both in the Midwest. Marijuana and methamphetamine were found to explain significantly more drug- related arrests in both counties with methamphetamifle accounting for a significantly higher percentage of rural than urban drug arrests after controlling for the differences in total population sizes of the two counties (χ² 10.26, 2 df, p < 0.01). A descriptive parsimonious socioeconomic and demographic profile was established for the typical methamphetamifle/rural drug offenders. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
