Talk:Drug court

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Aww my first article. I appologize for putting up the section headings without any filler, I started writing this one a little too late, but I'll be sure to fill in those sections with at least the basic information tomorrow. -Jonamerica 06:34, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

(p.s. if it's poor wiki edicate to have empty headers I appologize, feel free to remove them. I put them there in case others wanted to add to the article before I get to it tomorrow, they'd know what areas would be helpful to work on.)

[edit] references, and some clean up recommended

Hi there- brand new member, though I've come to wikipedia for info, actually how I ended up here today. I can update your references I think rather easily. A lot has come out in drug court literature during the 2000s. The cite you mention to Roman et al's study should be added (2003), and Belenko is a central author in drug court research. I could supplement and develop a number of areas. I think this is a good start, but there are topics and conditions of treatment you describe here that may be specific to certain jurisdictions' areas that were covered in the lit you cite. And, the approach to treatment is so-called "therapeutic jurisprudence" (my POV on "so-called"), involving a system of sanctions and rewards to change behavior. This needs fleshed out. I could help with this if you are open to these changes. Best, Valerie
