A unique interdisciplinary exploration of a pressing social issue
The numbers of women offenders involved in the correctional system
are quickly growing. Drugs, Women, and Justice: Roles of the
Criminal Justice System for Drug-Affected Women gathers a
distinguished group of researchers and policy analysts into one
volume to explore the broad social and individual implications of
current policy and practice pertaining to women in the criminal
justice system. This valuable resource provides readers with a
superb overview of the current state of knowledge and provides
recommendations for new directions. Each top-notch chapter was
originally presented at the 2005 Drugs, Women, and Justice
Symposium, held on the University of Illinois at Chicago campus and
sponsored by the Jane Addams College of Social Work Substance Abuse
Research Collaboration through a grant from the National Institute
on Drug Abuse. Traditionally, criminal justice studies and
rehabilitation programs have focused on male offenders. Recent
studies reinforce the current evidence that females should have
their needs addressed differently. This unique book presents the
latest research and thinking in complex and still emerging areas of
policy and treatment for women in the criminal justice system.
Topics in Drugs, Women, and Justice: Roles of the Criminal Justice
System for Drug-Affected Women include: characteristics of
drug-involved women in the criminal justice system the negative

Drugs, Women, and Justice: Roles of the Criminal Justice System for
Drug-Affected Women is essential reading for researchers,
criminologists, sociologists, social workers, psychologists,

welfare, criminal justice, and drug policy.
