Comparative rates of violent crime amongst methamphetamine and opioid users: Victimisation and offending
There have been marked changes in methamphetamine use over the past decade as more potent forms of the drug have become increasingly available, particularly crystalline methamphetamine. A major concern of stronger potency methamphetamine is the increased potential for harm, such as psychotic symptoms and violent behaviour. Little is currently known about what effects methamphetamine use has on violent behaviour.

The bioprofiling of illicit drugs
It has been found that DNA sequences can be extracted and amplified from typical drug seizures.
Non-human DNA in seizures was readily compared for similarities, pair-wise, seizure to seizure
and this should be applicable to police intelligence almost immediately and court usage
after considerable experience and validation.

Application of new DNA markers for forensic examination of Cannabis sativa seizures – Developmental validation of protocols and a genetic database
While Cannabis sativa has many industrial and therapeutic uses, drug varieties of C. sativa remain Australia’s most frequently used illicit drug. It is widely presumed that organised crime groups largely supply the domestic black market for C. sativa. However, law enforcement agencies are often unable to link producers operating in suspected syndicates or to determine whether crops of legalised fibre varieties are being used for the covert production of drug varieties of the plant.
