Re: family drug courts

["Margaret McCarthy" <mem227@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
There was recently an article in Child Maltreatment, Vol.12, No. 1, pp. 
43-59, February 2007 issue, How Effective are Family Treatment Drug 
Courts?  Outcomes from a Four-Site National Study, by Beth Green and 
colleagues.
A few other places to look are the Drug Court Program Office, U.S. 
Department of Justice, they have many useful publications.  
.http://www.ncjrs.gov/spotlight/drug_courts/Summary.html
In New York State, the Center for Court Innovation has numerous 
publications and technical support for drug courts.  
www.*court**innovation*.org
In addition, the National Coalition of Juvenile and Family Court Judges 
has resources on this topic, including a curriculum for beginning a drug 
court.  http://www.ncjfcj.org
I am involved in the family treatment court in Ithaca, New York, so feel 
free to contact me off the list if you want, at mem227@xxxxxxxxxxx
