Virginia Commonwealth University and the University of Maryland are conducting the National Criminal Justice Treatment Practices Survey, which will provide estimates of the prevalence of certain treatment delivery practices within the criminal justice system and will expand current understanding of the organizational and structural issues that influence practice. The survey will help to provide a platform for the development of a new generation of research regarding systems issues. The study findings will fill an immediate need for criminal justice and drug treatment stakeholders (e.g., policy makers, legislators, administrators, etc.) to identify general trends in the delivery of services and the influencing factors. The primary purposes of this study are to:
- Describe current drug treatment practices and delivery systems for offenders including the policies, philosophy, resources, and organizational structure of the delivery systems.
- Develop a common set of organizational and system measures of drug treatment practices in correctional settings, including system integration measures.
- Understand the role of organizational factors and dynamics in the drug treatment practices and systems integration within the research cooperative and nationally.
