What it measures
Drug production, trafficking, dealing and possession offences recorded by the police, per 100,000 inhabitants. Version published by Eurostat on 28 September 2018, retrieved from a copy kept by the Internet Archive.
Methodology
Drug production, trafficking, dealing and possession offences recorded by the police, per 100,000 inhabitants, following the International Classification of Crime for Statistical Purposes (ICCS code 0601). They count reported and recorded offences, not all those committed. Offence definitions and recording practices differ by country: the comparison should be read with caution. For Italy the figure comes from the Ministry of the Interior through ISTAT. Eurostat computes no EU-27 value. For France the values up to 2015 and those from 2016 are not comparable: the rate goes from 11.25 to 362.98 per 100,000 inhabitants in one year. Eurostat flags no break in the series, but a change of this size points to a change in how these offences are classified or counted.

Context layers and attribution rules
Crises
Conventional whole-year periods chosen by the editors; each period's source documents the event. They apply to every EU country. They show temporal coincidences, not causes.
4 periods with source
- Financial crisis1 Jan 2008 – 31 Dec 2009
- Sovereign debt crisis1 Jan 2011 – 31 Dec 2012
- COVID-19 pandemic1 Jan 2020 – 31 Dec 2021
- Energy crisis1 Jan 2022 – 31 Dec 2022
Governments
Each government covers the period from its swearing-in to the end date given by governo.it. An annual figure is not attributed to a single government: the bands show who was in office during the period, as a temporal coincidence. For public spending, the budget law for year N is passed by the government in office in year N−1.
