Paul Hayes Chief Executive, National Treatment Agency for Substance Misuse continues the 'New Developments in Criminal Justice'
seminar lecture series 2007–2008. Dependant drug misuse has been seen as one of the key drivers of acquisitive crime since the 1980s. The government’s 10 year drug strategy 1998-2008 placed crime reduction through the provision of timely effective treatment at its centre. This paper will argue that the delivery of drug treatment as part of the criminal justice process has yielded significant benefits to individual health, public health and community safety.
The interaction of politics and policy over the last 20 years which has enabled this to be achieved will be discussed together with the implication for the government’s next drug strategy.
