  2. 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.” - Dr. Glen Hanson Acting Director of NIDA

  3. CJ-DATSCooperative Mission • Establish a national research network to test different integrated system-level substance abuse treatment models for the criminal justice-involved population. • Facilitate knowledge development about drug treatment practices that can improve offender outcomes.

  4. CJ-DATS Center Sites Seven National Research Centers & a Coordinating Center Criminal Justice and Correctional Systems across the United States Surveys Utilization Research Dissemination Program Evaluations

  5. 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. * Data provided by the Bureau of Justice Statistics and the Office of National Drug Control Policy.

  8. CJ-DATS Answering Questions to Improve Outcomes for Drug Involved Offenders • What works during incarceration? • How can the prison community transition (structured reentry) be more effective? • What types of services work in the community? • How can the cycle of drug abuse and criminal behavior be broken?

  9. How will CJ-DATS Provide the Answers? • Conduct rigorous scientific studies of offender populations across multiple settings including jails, prisons, and in the community. • Use multi-site studies to increase knowledge about feasible evidence-based practices. • Develop and test research-based systems-level models that integrate public health and public safety approaches.
