The Devastating Effects of Crime and Substance Abuse in Our Society

As pointed out in the material presented in this module, crime, violence and substance abuse/addiction is contributing to many devastating social problems! Our criminal justice and health care systems are overwhelmed by virtue of enormous amounts of crime, violence and substance abuse/addiction, which contributes to high arrest/incarceration rates, higher fatal auto accident rates, high rates of domestic violence/destruction of families, higher rates of disease/mortality, higher rates of homicide/suicide, higher rates of mass/school shootings and impairing physical/mental health.
