Vision of CJ-DATS

• The establishment of the CJ-DATS is an
  outstanding example of cooperation among Federal
  agencies with the research community. We need
  to understand how to provide better drug
  treatment services for criminal justice offenders
  to alter their drug use and criminal behavior.

Why CJ-DATS?

• The critical nature of criminal justice
  population
• Over 6.6 million adults are on probation, in jail
  or prison, or on parole. This is 1 in every 32
  adults.
• Over 600,000 inmates are expected to be released
  from incarceration, an increase of 30 in the
  last decade.
• While 70 to 85 of inmates need drug abuse
  treatment, only 13 receive it.
• To improve public safety and health, research is
  needed to
• Provide information about the effectiveness of
  current and emerging treatment interventions.
• Unravel the barriers to effective drug treatment
  within the criminal justice setting.
• Increase knowledge about how to integrate
  treatment within the criminal justice system.
