| Summary |
Drug Court: Constructing the Moral Identity of Drug Offenders offers a richly detailed field research investigation of how drug court professionals work to help drug offenders become drug free and law abiding. The book explores the less public and revealing world of drug court professionals as they judge and manage drug offenders. Drug courts are the latest approach in America and in other countries for handling problem drug users. More than 1,200 drug courts exist throughout the United States and its territories. These courts developed out of the shifting emphasis on punishment and treatment. |
