| Opplysninger | A legacy of the "War on Drugs" has been a clogging of the criminal hustice system with drug-involved offenders. As a result, the 1980s and early 1990s witnessed an increase in drug-treatment programs within the context of criminal justice. But what programs are most effective in dealing with drug-abusing women? What about treatment in jail and detention settings? Is there a correlation between drug abuse among young people and the rise in youth crime? "Drug treatment and criminal justice" addresses these issues and reveals innovative projects, programs and advances available to drug offenders. This informative volume presents examples of programs designed for women offenders; discusses therapeutic communities in corrections; provides case-management approaches; and addresses substance abuse and HIV among criminal justice populations. Also included is an exceptionally useful section on the assessment and referral of criminal justice clients.. - Har bibliografi
