ADAM Preliminary 2000 Findings on Drug Use and Drug Markets
Adam Preliminary 2000 Findings on Drug Use and Drug Markets
Author: Bruce G. Taylor
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780756730024
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 57
Book Description
The Arrestee Drug Abuse Monitoring (ADAM) program measures the extent of drug use in the high-risk population of people who have been arrested. This preliminary report presents the first highly reliable, probability-based findings from the ADAM program. These new findings will be useful to policymakers and practitioners who are shaping their drug policies to meet local needs. Of the 38 sites that participate in the ADAM program, data about male arrestees were available from 27 and are being released early. ADAM has its roots in the Drug Use Forecasting program, established in 1987 to provide participating communities with information for developing drug-control strategies and related public-policy responses. Charts and tables.

The Challenge of Crime
Author: Henry Ruth
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674266943
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 392
Book Description
The development of crime policy in the United States for many generations has been hampered by a drastic shortage of knowledge and data, an excess of partisanship and instinctual responses, and a one-way tendency to expand the criminal justice system. Even if a three-decade pattern of prison growth came to a full stop in the early 2000s, the current decade will be by far the most punitive in U.S. history, hitting some minority communities particularly hard. The book examines the history, scope, and effects of the revolution in America's response to crime since 1970. Henry Ruth and Kevin Reitz offer a comprehensive, long-term, pragmatic approach to increase public understanding of and find improvements in the nation's response to crime. Concentrating on meaningful areas for change in policing, sentencing, guns, drugs, and juvenile crime, they discuss such topics as new priorities for the use of incarceration; aggressive policing; the war on drugs; the need to switch the gun control debate to a focus on crime gun regulation; a new focus on offenders' transition from confinement to freedom; and the role of private enterprise. A book that rejects traditional liberal and conservative outlooks, The Challenge of Crime takes a major step in offering new approaches for the nation's responses to crime.
