Resumen
LOPEZ-MUNOZ, F. et al. An historical vision of drugs of abuse from the criminological perspective (Part I). Cuad. med. forense [online]. 2011, vol.17, n.1, pp.21-33. ISSN 1988-611X.
The relation between drug use (including drug addiction) and criminology is extremely narrow, although it has not yet been possible to establish a definitive causal nexus between both. In the present paper, we review the history of drug dependence and drug use and the legal norms to fight against these problems. It was initiated in the USA Pure Food and Drug Act (1906) and was culminated at an international level, with the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs of Vienna (1988). In the second part of this paper, we will analyse the link between the drug use/abuse and the crime genesis.
