As a result of the Anti-Drug Act of 1986 the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) of the U.S. Department of Justice established Project REFORM to help states reduce drug abuse and criminality among convicted offenders through corrections-based drug treatment.
Abstract
On the basis of competitive applications to BJA, states were chosen to participate in the national project based on their willingness to launch a major system-wide effort to confront these problems. In 1987, the Bureau selected Narcotic and Drug Research, Inc. (NDRI) to administer Project REFORM and to provide expert assistance to participating states. The following is a report on the first three years of Project REFORM, including the project's mission, mode of operation, overall accomplishments, and what has been learned. 7 notes and 38 references (Author abstract)
