Drug Courts and the Criminal Justice System

Drug courts - a rare success story in the criminal justice system - are generally credited with reducing recidivism and providing a lower-cost alternative to incarceration. They have also spawned the development of other specialty courts. The authors of this book provide a comprehensive analysis of just how drug courts work, systematically examining the model and exploring its broader significance.
