4.6.4.6 Persons convicted for: Acts involving controlled psychoactive substances or other drugs (ICCS 06)
Total number of persons found guilty of “acts involving controlled psychoactive substances or other drugs” by any legal body authorized to pronounce a conviction under national criminal law, whether or not the conviction was later upheld. Persons receiving a sentence after plea-bargaining, or in an abbreviated court procedure, should be counted as persons convicted. It should also include persons convicted of serious special law offences but exclude persons convicted of minor road traffic offences, misdemeanours and other petty offences. Those criminal offences are defined in Section 06 of the ICCS, UNODC, 2015, p.63-67. They include: Unlawful acts involving controlled drugs or precursors (0601), which includes unlawful possession, purchase, use, cultivation or production of controlled drugs for personal consumption (06011), and unlawful trafficking, cultivation or production of controlled drugs or precursors not for personal consumption (06012); Unlawful acts involving alcohol, tobacco or other controlled substances (0602); Other acts involving controlled drugs or other psychoactive substances (0609), and other subcategories as listed in the ICCS. Controlled drugs are narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances scheduled as such under the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, as amended, and the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances (ICCS, p.63, footnote 98) [Source: Data are provided through the UN-CTS.]
