Published annually, the Drug Court Review’s (DCR) goal is to keep the Drug Court practitioner abreast of important new developments in the Drug Court field. Drug Courts demand a great deal of time and energy of the practitioner. There is little opportunity to read lengthy evaluations or keep up with important research in the field. Yet, the ability to marshal scientific and research information and “argue the facts” can be critical to a program’s success and ultimate survival.
The DCR builds a bridge between law, science, and clinical communities, providing a common tool to all. A subject indexing system allows access to evaluation outcomes, scientific analysis, and research on Drug Court related areas. Scientific jargon and legalese are interpreted for the practitioner into common language.
Although the DCR’s emphasis is on scholarship and scientific research, it also provides commentary from experts in the Drug Court and related fields on important issues to Drug Court practitioners.
