Directors Clark
and Meachum will discuss issues related to the implementation of
a systems approach and the need to unite public safety and public
health concerns into a new approach to substance abuse intervention
in the criminal and juvenile justice systems. They will also discuss
the day's goal: for each state or local team to begin formulating
a plan of action that can provide the basis for developing a systems
approach to treatment interventions. Dr. Clark will also discuss
the need to permit redemption of offenders by accepting them into
society as productive citizens able to hold jobs and pay taxes,
once they have paid their debt.
