Drug Prosecution and Prevention Across the Nation
The American Prosecutors Research Institute (APRI) developed and implemented a national survey of prosecutors to identify current trends in drug crime prosecution and prevention to assess and document prosecutors’ current efforts in implementing and operating innovative drug crime prevention, intervention or prosecution programs.
This research documents the increasing involvement of prosecutors in shaping and developing unique drug programs such as those that incorporate community involvement, focus on alternatives to incarceration, and most recently, programs that deal specifically with methamphetamine use, manufacturing, and distribution. In addition, this report details the significant findings of the study including prosecutors’ perceptions of the drug problem, promising practices that may be replicated in other jurisdictions, and the emerging issues for prosecutors in drug prosecution and prevention.
