Sažetak
Drug-related crime has long been the subject of various types of research, primarily aimed at finding ways to prevent it. One of the concepts through which this connection can be viewed is the criminal career concept. This paper aimed to explore the relationship between age and the commission of criminal offences related to illegal drugs through the concept of a criminal career. The main results show that respondents most often commit theft in order to obtain funds for purchasing illegal drugs, and most often commit crimes of theft or robbery under the influence of illegal drugs, regardless of age. The paper also explores the connection between other aspects of the correlation between drug crime and certain age groups, which is essential for studying this phenomenon to prevent and rehabilitate the perpetrators of these crimes.
