Book excerpt: This manual is offered as a guide and resource for use by communities desiring to implement drug abuse control efforts which utilize and coordinate resources of both the criminal justice and health care systems in arriving at a comprehensive response to drug and drug-related crime. It describes Treatment Alternatives to Street Crime (TASC) as originally designed by the Special Action Office on Drug Abuse Prevention (SAODAP) and modified by the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAA). The major focus of the manual is upon development of a TASC project suitable for funding through an LEAA discretionary grant. A secondary purpose of the manual, however, is to assist communities in developing TASC-like programs for dealing with substance abusing offenders that could be supported by other fuming resources if LEAA support is not sought or not available.
