Recently, APRI’s Office of Research and Evaluation (OR & E) distributed a survey to all state and local prosecutors’ offices in the nation, asking them questions about their perceptions of the drug problem, including drug-related crime, in their communities. Five hundred and fifty-two prosecutors’ offices returned the survey. OR & E has analyzed the results of the survey, and has compiled them in a soon-to-be-published monograph entitled Drug Prosecution Across the Nation: Prosecutors’ Perceptions of the Drug Problem and Drug-Related Crime in their Communities.
The data from the survey, broken down by state, is available by clicking on a state. For each state, you can view statistics about whether the responding prosecutors' offices have initiated, participated in, or led programs concerning: diversion alternatives to incarceration; drug courts; law enforcement drug task forces; multi-disciplinary partnerships and coalitions of agencies; community–based public safety and community prosecution; faith-based prevention and intervention; general prevention and intervention; and nuisance abatement and eviction.
(The data is in PDF file format - to view or print these files you can download the FREE Adobe Acrobat Reader).
