Prior contact with the criminal justice system among people who fatally overdosed on illicit drugs in Surrey and in British Columbia, 2011 to 2016 / by Shannon Brennan and Benjamin Mazowita. : CS85-002/39-11E-PDF

"The second in the series of papers, this Juristat article examines a cohort of individuals who died of an illicit drug overdose in the province of British Columbia, with a special focus on the City of Surrey, between 2011 and 2016, and explores the nature and extent of their contact with the criminal justice system as a person accused of a crime. This is not done from the point of view of describing their criminal behavior, but rather to identify potential opportunities for intervention within various social sectors. Encounters with first responders and the criminal justice system represent potential venues through which individuals at risk of overdose could receive targeted intervention, including programs related to overdose education or naloxone distribution (Wagner et al. 2015)"--Page 4.
