少年の大麻検挙、過去最多　昨年９９４人、広報強化―警察庁

　昨年１年間に警察が大麻事件で検挙した２０歳未満の少年は前年比１２．１％増の９９４人で、過去最多を更新したことが１０日、警察庁のまとめで分かった。大麻の危険性が十分に認知されていないことなどが要因とみられ、同庁は広報啓発を進めるとともに取り締まりを強化している。

Japanese police dealt with a record 994 people under 20 years old over cannabis cases in 2021, up 12.1 pct from the preceding year, a National Police Agency survey report showed Thursday.
   The increase was apparently because the danger of cannabis is not fully recognized.
   Of the total for 2021, 502 had jobs while 192 were without jobs. The total also included 186 high school students, 50 university students and eight junior high school students.
   Men accounted for 896 and women totaled 98.
   The NPA also said police took action against 115 minors in stimulant cases, up by 19. Of the total, 10 were high school students and one was a junior high school student.
