This report provides an overview of anti-drug abuse and criminal justice system improvement programs established under the Bureau of Justice Assistance in accordance with the Anti-Drug Abuse Acts of 1986 and 1988.
Abstract
The report provides summaries to two different types of programs -- Established and Demonstration -- in summary matrices and in narrative descriptions. Established programs are those of proven relevance to national drug control efforts and system improvement or of proven success by evaluation findings. Demonstration programs are unique and innovative programs that have proven successful in State or local settings, but whose applicability on a national level has yet to be achieved. The report is divided into two major sections, one each for Established and Demonstration programs. Each section begins with a matrix of programs that specifies the program name, purpose, highlights, evaluators (where appropriate), and resource organizations that readers may contract for additional information. Following each matrix is a section that contains narratives for each program. The narratives provide additional information on program objectives and highlights. The major categories under which both Established and Demonstration programs are grouped are crime prevention and demand reduction, law enforcement/community policing, prosecution, courts, and corrections/alternatives to corrections and drug treatment.
