This harm is fuelling an increase in violence and exploitation of vulnerable people, including children, due to the County Lines models of drug movement. For example, 45% of acquisitive crime is linked to drugs, 44% of homicides in 2017/18 were known to be drug-related and in 21% of violent incidents in 2017/18 the offender was thought to be under the influence of drugs. The review has given rise to several additional funding streams being made available to Local Authorities - including the Rough Sleeper Drug and Alcohol Treatment Grant.
