Résumé : |
ENGLISH : The paper begins by placing the emergence of drug treatment courts within the context of rising property crime rates, the development of open-air illicit drug markets, and the rise in opiate overdoses in Australia. The paper then highlights the way in which the U.S. concept of drug treatment courts was adopted and adapted by state politicians in attempts to deal with drug-use-related offenders. This response has been specifically targeted at repeat property offenders "at risk" of imprisonment, and comes within the broad brush of harm minimization strategies for diverting offenders with a drug-use-related problem away from the traditional criminal justice response of imprisonment. The prospects for the future of drug treatment courts in a Federalist system are also discussed. (Editor's abstract.) |
