Abstract
Information was derived from responses to a survey distributed by the Bureau of Justice Assistance Drug Court Resource Center at The American University to 25 drug courts that had been operating for one year or more. The survey consisted of six sections to be completed by the principal agencies involved in the drug court operations in each of the jurisdictions surveyed: (1) general program information to be completed by the court; and more specific information relating to (2) prosecution activities; (3) defense activities; (4) law enforcement activities; (5) correctional activities; and (6) activities and services of the treatment coordinator. This volume provides responses from prosecutors; defenders; law enforcement officials; correctional agency officials; and treatment professionals involved with the drug court programs described in Volume 1.
