Money is the chief reason why drug users migrate to other types of criminal behavior. Addiction to most drugs is extraordinarily expensive, and most users do not earn enough legitimately to support their habit and meet their other living expenses, too. The pull of addiction is so strong that it often leads users into crimes such as shoplifting, robbery, burglary, auto theft, and prostitution.
