Listening material:Interviewer: Good evening, and welcome to the show. With me in the studio is Professor Marion Smith, who is an expert on the connection between crime and drug addiction. Good evening, Professor Smith.

Professor: Good evening.

Interviewer: First of all, how many people use illegal drugs in Britain?

Professor: Possibly four million people.

Interviewer: Really? Four million?

Professor: Yes.

Interviewer: How many of them break the law in order to pay for their drugs?

Professor: It’s possible that a hundred thousand people steal in order to pay for their drug addiction.

Interviewer: A hundred thousand? That’s incredible! And what kind of crimes do they commit?

Professor: Mainly shoplifting – in other words, stealing from shops – and burglary, stealing from houses.

Interviewer: I see.

Professor: And there’s another problem. Drug users get into trouble with the police for other reasons as well.

Interviewer: What kind of reasons?

Professor: Well, you often see drug users in public places – shopping centers, railway stations, for example – and some of them behave so badly that members of the public call the police. Some people feel so nervous when they see drug users that they call the police anyway.

Interviewer: This is a really bad problem, isn’t it?

Professor: Absolutely, but the good news is that drug users who go to treatment centers usually stop their criminal activities.

Interviewer: How many addicts go to treatment centers?

Professor: Last year, about 30,000 people went to drug treatment centers.

Interviewer: Thirty thousand? That’s amazing.

Professor: Yes, there are such a lot of people that there isn’t time to help them all.

Interviewer: What kind of people are they?

Professor: well, the majority are young people in their twenties. And about 75 percent of the young people are men.

Interviewer: And do all these people live in cities?

Professor: Oh no. The ratio of drug users in society is the same in cities and in the countryside. But they all have something in common.

Interviewer: What’s that?

Professor: Drug users are more likely to get into trouble at school. Interviewer: Professor Marion Smith, thank you very much.

Professor: Thank you.
