Inmates admitted to Drug Rehabilitation Centre (DRC) by Education Level

Description

This Singapore Prison Service dataset records the number of inmates admitted to the Drug Rehabilitation Centre (DRC) each year, broken down by their education level. Each row pairs a year with an education category and the corresponding number of admissions, covering 2006 through 2025 and giving roughly two decades of comparable annual counts. Because DRC placement is a treatment and rehabilitation pathway rather than a punitive sentence, the figures indicate the educational profile of people entering supervised drug rehabilitation in Singapore. Researchers and policymakers use it to examine links between educational attainment and drug abuse, and to target prevention and aftercare programmes more effectively.
