Bøger af Steven Belenko

Debates over the use and abuse of drugs, the laws controlling drugs in this country, and the question of whether or not certain drugs should be legally available have inflamed Americans since the 19th-century, and continue to flourish as America attempts to rage its war on drugs.

An authority on anti-drug policy and crack since it became a popular street drug in the mid-1980s, Belenko traces the development of America's policy response in the context of changes in policy that were underway when crack first appeared.

Drug courts, boot camps, day reporting and other judicial/correctional interventions mix social controls with treatment of addicted persons. This book offers strategies that affect adoption, implementation and sustainability in community correctional settings.
