Breaking the Cycle of Drug Use Among Juvenile Offenders

November 1999
Many attempts have sought to document, understand, and intervene in what is often called the juvenile drug-crime cycle. Although these attempts have usually promised much, their results are often unknown or not documented with methodologically rigorous scientific research.
