The study aimed to identify the influence of the drug law amendments on the crime rates in Jordan. The study used the descriptive approach to achieving its aims and utilized a questionnaire as a data collection tool. The study included academic staff from six Law colleges at Jordanian universities. The questionnaires were sent to (82) faculty members but (70) of them were returned. Results revealed that (83%) of the respondents reported that the legal amendments were the direct cause for increase the commitment of drug crimes in Jordan in recent years. The significant amendments of the Jordanian law (2014) of drug and controlled substance were related to the first time users, which referred to that, using drugs for the first time was not considered a judicial precedent in criminal cases, just referring the users to the appropriate treatment.

الملخص
هدفت الدراسة التعرف إلى أثر تعديلات قانون المخدرات على معدلات ارتكاب الجرائم في الأردن. استخدمت الدراسة المنهج الوصفي في تحقيق أهدافها، واعتمدت الاستبانة كأداةٍ لجمع بياناتها، شملت الدراسة أعضاء هيئة التدريس في كلية القانون في ست جامعات أردنية. حيث تم توزيع (82) استبانةً وبلغ عدد المسترجع منها (70) استبانةً. توصلت الدراسة إلى مجموعة من النتائج منها: يرى نحو (83%) من عينة الدراسة أن التعديلات القانونية كانت سببا مباشرا في ارتفاع معدلات ارتكاب جرائم المخدرات في الأردن في السنوات الاخيرة، وإنّ أبرز التعديلات التي ظهرت في قانون المخدرات والمؤثرات العقلية الأردني في عام 2014 هي التعديلات التي أصابت المادة المتعلقة بالمتعاطين أول مرة والتي نصت على عدم اعتبار التعاطي لأول مرة سابقة جنائية والاكتفاء بتحويل المتعاطي إلى العلاج. أوصت الدراسة بضرورة أن تكون التشريعات القانونية حازمة ورادعة بهدف الحدِّ من الزيادة المستمرة في جرائم المخدرات في الأردن.
