You are director of a halfway house for parolees, and you have been asked by the State to begin drug testing. Everyone will be tested at intake, but after that you must develop procedures for testing. Unfortunately, they have given you a limited budget, so you cannot drug-test everyone regularly.
1. How will offenders be selected for drug testing?
2. Will you test for every drug every time you take a sample?
3. How will you ensure fairness?
4. What do you suggest should be done with those offenders who have a positive result?
5. How will you evaluate whether drug testing is effective (be sure to include the outcome indicators you plan to examine)?
Use information from your textbook to support and justify your decisions.
Unfortunately, I have no way of uploading the Chapter in the textbook that we are using but I will submit as much information to about the book and hopefully you will have a writer that has access to it.
As promised, here is the information regarding the textbook we are using for the class, Introduction to Probation and Parole.
Latessa, E. J., & Smith, P. (2015). Corrections in the Community (6th ed.). New York, NY: Routledge.
The Chapter that this assignment is in reference to is Chapter 9.
Again I apologize for the inconvenience. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask. I will try my best to answer them.
