St. Petersburg program for Combating Proliferation of Drugs used simulation tools in drug trafficking to create analysts, programs to counter crime in this area.

When assessing the procedures for drug trafficking, drug addiction, it is significant to know the total values of the signs of the statistics given by departmental agencies which rarely reflect the process itself. These departmental statistics will be taken out from the registration’s, response systems which may not give us the true crime rate. That is the reason why it is important to assess the number of hidden crimes, unregistered crimes in the area. This will give the real scenario of issues in the region, also which helps to recognize the factors which can affect the changes in crime rates (Deljoo, Ameneh. ,2015).

To evaluate the genuine number of drug users, a scientific model was made, considering the linkage of such indicators as data concerning seizures of unlawful trafficking, enlisted cases of illicit drug use, assessments of public sentiment information and the intensity of the discussion on drug-related subjects in social networks. Subsequently, estimates were acquired which show that the genuine number of people consuming drugs in any event once in their lifetime exceeds the registered number by 50 times (Janssen,2015).

This irregularity clarifies the procedure as profoundly latent, which is a trouble to getting a high precision of modeling and forecasting when utilizing the previously mentioned sources of data. So, measures were planned to decrease latency, for instance, compulsory testing for drug traces in students, drivers and public workers, all employees. However, these measures have not been taken, maybe as a result of fears that the revealed cases of drug utilization are indirectly punishable under the criminal code and the very the actuality of such a disclosure may prompt negative ramifications for the system of identification and fear (Marijn & Wimmer, 2015).

Indeed, even with the low precision of the model, the forecast of the development of the degree of crime based on survey information gives the probability of distinguishing patterns and offers clarifications of changes in elements. For instance: Increases in recorded crime until 2011 were brought about by increased migration from different nations, areas and the decrease are a result of a progression of city anti-drug programs implemented in Saint Petersburg. Forecast predicting an increase in crime in 2013–2014 was because of a postponement in the implementation of additional anti-drug programs. The place of demonstrating and determining in the overall system of organizational tools to battle the spread of illicit drug use in Saint Petersburg.
