contact your local police station. When I had college papers due the police departments were a great resource.All I had to do was call them up or stop in. for example one of my classes was a speach class and I decided to do mine on the effects of child sexual abuse. I figured people already knew me because I had already done some public guest speaking in the area so stick with what I know but I also wanted local statistics that everyone in my class could relate to. So I stopped into my local police department and said hi Im so and so, I am writing a paper and doing a speach for my speech 101 class. I need to know how many rapes were reported in the past 6 months and how many reports of child sexual abuse were investigated and or prosecuted in the last 6 months. I also need to know the ages so that I can draw up a statistical chart on this information.

I also contacted the district attorneys office and got their local statistics information.

Because my focus point was child sexual abuse I also stopped in at the local child protective services for their statistics. They were all fantastic supplying me with the information that I needed.

You might also try contacting your local drug and alcohol services /support groups. They won't be able to give you names but they also keep statistical information for their state and local funding

Local librarians can also help you. All you need to do is go to the reference desk and ask how you would find information about drugs including statistics of percentages of male, females, ages and mortality rates reported.

Mental health agencies may also be able to tell you some of their statistics or at least some information that you could use. Again they would not be able to tell you exact names though.
