Abstract (Englisch)

This project will produce a sound and comparable evidence base on compulsory and quasi-compulsory treatment (QCT) of drug dependent offenders in Europe. It involves 8 partners with specialist expertise in this area, in 6 European countries.

This project will use four main methods: 1) Descriptions of QCT systems throughout the European Union and Switzerland; 2) Review of literature on QCT published worldwide in the major European languages; 3) Comparable, prospective, cross-national quantitative evaluations of the outcomes of selected QCT systems in eight countries; 4) Comparable, qualitative evaluation of the process of selected QCT systems in eight countries. The products of the research will be widely disseminated and will include a quantitative dataset on the research sample, and a qualitative database on the evaluated QCT systems.
