What Role Can The Criminal Justice System Play In The Treatment Of Drug Addiction?
Increasingly, research is demonstrating that treatment for drug-addicted offenders during and after incarceration can have a significant beneficial effect upon future drug use, criminal behavior, and social functioning. The case for integrating drug addiction treatment approaches with the criminal justice system is compelling. Combining prison- and community-based treatment for drug-addicted offenders reduces the risk of both recidivism to drug-related criminal behavior and relapse to drug use. For example, a recent study found that prisoners who participated in a therapeutic treatment program in the Delaware State Prison and continued to receive treatment in a work-release program after prison were 70 percent less likely than nonparticipants to return to drug use and incur rearrest (See Treatment Section) Individuals Who Enter Treatment Under Legal Pressure Have Outcomes As Favorable As Those Who Enter Treatment Voluntarily.

    General Categories of Treatment Programs
    Agonist Maintenance Treatment for opiate addicts usually is conducted in outpatient settings, often called methadone treatment programs. These programs use a long-acting synthetic opiate medication, usually methadone or LAAM, administered orally for a sustained period at a dosage sufficient to prevent opiate withdrawal, block the effects of illicit opiate use, and decrease opiate craving. Patients stabilized on adequate, sustained dosages of methadone or LAAM can function normally. They can hold jobs, avoid the crime and violence of the street culture, and reduce their exposure to HIV by stopping or decreasing injection drug use and drug-related high-risk sexual behavior. Patients stabilized on opiate agonists can engage more readily in counseling and other behavioral interventions essential to recovery and rehabilitation. The best, most effective opiate agonist maintenance programs include individual and/or group counseling, as well as provision of, or referral to, other needed medical, psychological, and social services.

The project also attempts to improve the social integration of the former detainees through the development of coping skills for the detainees. During the project, there will be a study of alcohol and drug problems in prisons; training programs about drug addict rehabilitation and the improvement of general coping skills. Prison officials and criminal probation officers will also be trained in the sexual criminal rehabilitation program and the juvenile delinquent rehabilitation program issues and the psychological training of the prison officials will also continue. The project was approved by the European Commission in May, 2004, the project activities will presumably start at the beginning of 2005.

Introduction The Criminal Justice Certificate Program (CJCP) is a specific sequence of courses and field work for students wanting to learn about the dynamics of America's criminal and juvenile justice systems. In consultation with a program advisor, CJCP students select courses from nine academic departments to gain a broad understanding of the philosophy, theories, and operation of the adult and juvenile justice systems. Classes may be chosen in any sequence but classes in Group I, II, and III are prerequisites to Group VII, Field Work. Courses are derived from the departments of Sociology, Political Science, Social Work, Psychology, Statistics, Counseling Psychology, Communication Arts, Women's Studies, and Rehabilitation Psychology and Special Education. CJCP studies focus on the causes of crime and delinquency, examine fundamental concepts underlying the practice of justice, and analyze the impact of crime on our society. The inner workings of criminal justice agencies are reviewed and options for controlling crime are surveyed. Students are challenged to consider new ways of preventing and handling crime. Studies are completed in tandem with a chosen major. Upon completion of all requirements and graduation, students are awarded an inscribed Certificate in Criminal Justice for personal use.

We are still a long way from the time when our conscience can be certain of having done everything possible to prevent crime and to control it effectively so that it no longer does harm and, at the same time, to offer to those who commit crimes a way of redeeming themselves and making a positive return to society. If all those in some way involved in the problem tried to . . . develop this line of thought, perhaps humanity as a whole could take a great step forward in creating a more serene and peaceful society.

Drug Addiction Treatment Methods
Drug addiction is a treatable disorder. Through treatment that is tailored to individual needs, patients can learn to control their condition and live normal, productive lives. Like people with diabetes or heart disease, people in treatment for drug addiction learn behavioral changes and often take medications as part of their treatment regimen. Behavioral therapies can include counseling, psychotherapy, support groups, or family therapy. Treatment medications offer help in suppressing the withdrawal syndrome and drug craving and in blocking the effects of drugs. In addition, studies show that treatment for heroin addiction using methadone at an adequate dosage level combined with behavioral therapy reduces death rates and many health problems associated with heroin abuse. In general, the more treatment given, the better the results. Many patients require other services as well, such as medical and mental health services and HIV prevention services. Patients who stay in treatment longer than 3 months usually have better outcomes than those who stay less time. Patients who go through medically assisted withdrawal to minimize discomfort but do not receive any further treatment, perform about the same in terms of their drug use as those who were never treated. Over the last 25 years, studies have shown that treatment works to reduce drug intake and crimes committed by drug-dependent people. Researchers also have found that drug abusers who have been through treatment are more likely to have jobs.

More specifically, its objective was to draw up a profile of the participants in the program and their future following the program. The program consisted of a variety of interventions based mainly on confrontation and a phenomenological understanding of specific behaviours. Its primary focus was on the cognitive acquisitions of the participants from the viewpoint of the principles of criminal personality theory whereby criminal activity is explained at the level of the thought processes, hence the importance of intervening at the cognitive level. Methodology The sample comprised 30 male inmates who had participated in the treatment program for structured offenders. For the purpose of the study, they were divided into three groups. The first group comprised inmates who had completed the program (n=10). The second consisted of inmates who were returned to the penitentiary before the end of the program following a decision by the members of the treatment team (n=9). The third group was made up of inmates who had refused treatment (n=11). Data were gathered from official RCMP reports and from medical files from the hospital where the interventions took place. The information obtained included the subjects' criminal, psychiatric and psychosocial history and recidivism rates. The data gathered after the end of the program covered an average of 4.4 years.

USAID funded program helps reform children who take the dangerous step into crime Giving Youth a Second Chance in South Africa
A single mother of two, Sharon Daniels said that her teenage son’s arrest in May 2003 was one of the worst days of her life. “Police came to the door of our small cottage and arrested Delano. He looked so helpless in the handcuffs, yet so guilty. Here was the child I raised alone for sixteen years, through many hardships, having taught him all the values and morals necessary to fit into society — things like honesty, the difference between right and wrong, integrity, good manners.” More than 80% of the participants have remained crime-free. The successful program has the capacity to handle thousands of young people and will soon branch out into several new communities. Sharon was unable to persuade the victim to drop the charges. Delano had helped his friend “revenge” the owner of a bar who had refused to serve liquor to the under-age teen. So the boys broke into the tavern when it was closed and stole money from the cash register. Photo: USAID/South Africa Reverie Zurba Sharon and her son, Delano, are living proof that South Africa’s crime problem can be reduced by youth diversion program USAID supports.

By Christine Donnelly
Star-Bulletin The percentage of girls arrested in Hawaii has reached record proportions accounting for a bigger share of juvenile arrests than in the rest of the United States and the state lacks enough female-focused rehabilitation programs to combat the problem, according to a new study. Although the largest number of arrests is for "status offenses" such as running away from home, those offenses while considered less urgent to the rest of society put the girls on hostile streets and at greater risk of committing more serious crimes such as theft, drug dealing and prostitution, said the report's author. Moreover, once they run away, often to escape physical or sexual abuse at home, the girls are more likely to be further victimized, including being sexually exploited. "For girls, it's unfortunately the case that they are pretty immediately drawn into behaviors like survival sex, sex for a place to stay, for food, for drugs" and can end up controlled by pimps and stuck as prostitutes, said Meda Chesney-Lind, a University of Hawaii professor and principal investigator of the study, "Programs Matter: Girls' Offenses and Gender Specific Programming in Hawaii."
