Public Domain Drug Court Software: Functions and Utility. Monograph

摘要

The drug court is information driven. The diverse nature and scope of its information needs far exceed those of the typical criminal court. In striving for optimal effectiveness, the drug court team must collect, quickly retrieve, communicate about, and react to information that supports operational decisionmaking. In the drug court context, operational decisionmaking is guided by a sense of shared responsibility among, at a minimum, the court, prosecution, defense, and treatment communities. Drug court information spans program admission and treatment issues as well as information associated with the ongoing judicial supervision of participants.
