NADCP (National Association of Drug Court Professionals) has released the nation´s most comprehensive report on drug courts

The report compiles data from two rigorous national surveys of all U.S. states, commonwealths, districts and territories for years 2008 and 2009.

In addition to reporting the aggregate number and types of operational Drug Courts and other Problem-Solving Court programs throughout the United States, the report provides an in-depth synthesis of recent research findings related to the most prevalent Drug Court models. Additional sections report national Drug Court capacity; average graduation rates; participation costs; as well as drug-of-choice trends among Drug Court participants in rural, suburban, and urban areas; state and federal Drug Court authorization legislation and appropriations, and international Drug Court activity. Additionally, the 2011 Painting the Current Picture includes the first-ever national demographic data on racial and ethnic minority representation among Drug Court participants.
