December 2012
Series
A small number of offenders who are heavily involved in drugs commit a large portion of the crime in this country.

Addiction, the Brain, and Evidence-Based Treatment
March 2012
Series
The criminal justice system encounters and supervises a large number of drug abusing persons. Punishment alone is a futile and ineffective response to the problem of drug abuse. Addiction is a chronic brain disease with a strong genetic component that in most instances requires treatment. Involvement in the criminal justice system provides a unique opportunity to treat drug abuse disorders and related health conditions, thereby improving public health and safety.
