Résumé :
ENGLISH :
A multi-agency approach to arrest referral is described. While such schemes are now widely accepted within a range of measures designed to break the drug/crime link, there exists great variation in terms of the type of scheme, the setting, management and resourcing. The Leeds Arrest Referral Scheme is part of a multi-agency initiative designed to provide access to treatment for individuals detained in police custody with the ultimate goal of reducing drug-related harm and drug-related offending. Three arrest referral addiction therapists work in six police divisions and have direct contact with arrestees. They are able to refer directly into drug and alcohol services, including detoxification services, in the city. Monitoring and evaluation procedures provide measures of effectiveness. In the year ending April 2000, 66.3% of individuals seen were referred into treatment and 34.7% attended for initial appointment. The scheme inects Home, office recommendations and Drug Prevention Advisory Service (DPAS) guidelines for arrest referral schemes. (Author's abstract.)
