RAND Study Finds No Link Between Medical Marijuana Dispensaries and Crime

For Immediate Release: September 20th, 2011
Oakland, CA -- The RAND Corporation issued a
report today dispelling the myth that there are inherent links between medial
marijuana distribution centers and crime. The study on which the RAND report is
based claims that crime was as much as 60 percent greater around medical
marijuana dispensaries that had been shut down by the City of Los Angeles
compared to those areas with open dispensaries. "[W]e found no evidence
that medical marijuana dispensaries in general cause crime to rise," said
Mireille Jacobson, the study’s lead author and a senior economist at RAND.
RAND's study, which challenges the common wisdom that medical marijuana
dispensaries promote criminal activity, affirms the findings of patient
advocates. "We have reached the same conclusions as RAND using a
qualitative study of public officials with firsthand experience of how
dispensaries reduce crime in their neighborhoods," said Steph Sherer,
Executive Director of Americans for Safe Access (ASA), the country's leading
medical marijuana advocacy group. "Unfortunately, law enforcement has
largely ignored or refuted these findings."
According to a statement from RAND, the study "examined crime reports for
the 10 days prior to and the 10 days following June 7, 2010, when the city of
Los Angeles ordered more than 70 percent of the city’s 638 medical marijuana
dispensaries to close." Researchers analyzed crime reports within a few
blocks around dispensaries that closed and compared that to crime reports for
neighborhoods where dispensaries remained open. In total, RAND said that
"researchers examined 21 days of crime reports for 600 dispensaries in Los
Angeles County -- 170 dispensaries remained open while 430 were ordered to
close."
RAND calls its study "the first systematic analysis of the link between
medical marijuana dispensaries and crime," however Los Angeles Police Chief
Charlie Beck conducted his own study in 2010 comparing the levels of crime at
the city's banks with its medical marijuana dispensaries. Chief Beck found that
71 robberies had occurred at the more than 350 banks in the city, compared to 47
robberies at the more than 500 medical marijuana facilities. At the time, Beck
observed that, "banks are more likely to get robbed than medical marijuana
dispensaries," and the claim that dispensaries attract crime "doesn't
really bear out."
There are at least 60 localities in California and many more around the country
that regulate the distribution of medical marijuana. "Dispensary
regulations bring greater oversight and less crime to local communities,"
continued Sherer. "We're hopeful that an objective study like RAND's will
help dispel the fear that our opposition is spreading across California and
compel more local governments to adopt sensible regulations."
