What is the percentile of substance abusers who have criminal records in NYC?

Forgive my not being more explicit of course they would have had to been in treatment in order for us to ascertain if they have a prior criminal record!

Percentile? wrong term.
If they have not been arrested or gone in for treatment you do not know how many drug abusers there are. Ergo, you cannot give a percentage of those with criminal records.
Estimates on numbers of users varies widely, depending on what the estimators view point is.
