Journeys to crime, or distances traveled from residences to places of alleged crimes, describe how people enter into the criminal justice system. Race, as an ascribed characteristic of individuals and a determinant of community conditions, introduces disparities in journeys to crime. Use of opioids among nonurban, White populations and changing law enforcement responses prompt inquiry into how race affects journeys to crime associated with opioid possession. This study evaluates Black–White differences in travel among persons arrested for opioid possession in Delaware. It applies race and rationality theory to assess the effects of race and racialized context on travel patterns. Multilevel models reveal travel to possess opioids is greater for White relative to Black Delawareans. Community conditions such as marijuana possession arrest rates and concentrated disadvantage have varying impacts on travel from various geographic areas. Racial–spatial differences in travel show persistent disparities in drug law enforcement amid efforts to curb opioid misuse.

犯罪之旅，或从住宅到涉嫌犯罪地点的距离，描述了人们如何进入刑事司法系统。种族是个人的归因特征，也是社区条件的决定因素，在犯罪过程中造成了差异。在非城市，白人人口中使用阿片类药物和不断变化的执法对策迅速询问了种族如何影响与阿片类药物拥​​有有关的犯罪途径。这项研究评估了在特拉华州因拥有阿片类药物而被捕的人之间的旅行差异。它应用种族和理性理论来评估种族和种族背景对出行方式的影响。多层次模型显示，与黑人德拉瓦人相比，白人拥有阿片类药物的旅行更大。诸如大麻持有逮捕率和集中不利条件等社区状况对来自不同地理区域的旅行产生了不同的影响。旅行中的种族空间差异显示，在制止阿片类药物滥用的努力中，毒品执法方面的持续差距。
