Abstract
THE SUMMARY FOCUSES ON THE NUMBER OF DRUG OFFENDERS PROCESSED BY THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM. IT RECOMMENDS THAT THE DRUG CONTROL PROGRAMS OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE AGENCIES BE EVALUATED BY A PRIVATE OR UNINVOLVED GOVERNMENT AGENCY AND THAT FOLLOW-UP STUDIES BE DONE ON OFFENDERS WHO HAVE UNDERGONE DRUG TREATMENT. INCLUDED ARE STATISTICAL FINDINGS OF A STUDY OF THE SOCIAL CHARACTERISTICS AND DRUG CONSUMPTION PATTERNS OF DRUG USING INMATES IN THE PUERTO RICAN CORRECTIONAL SYSTEM. --IN SPANISH
