Beckerman, Adela; Fontana, Leonard
Journal of Offender Rehabilitation, v33 n4 p45-61 2001
Article examines a Drug Court that offers culturally specific programming as a strategy to enhance retention in the treatment of female and African-American male substance abuse offenders. Study found that mandating treatment was insufficient to foster client engagement. Retention was significantly enhanced by treatment that recognized cultural differences among client populations.
