The National Association of Drug Court Professionals (NADCP) is an American 501(c)(3) non-profit drug court organization. Their stated mission is "To champion proven strategies within the judicial system that empower drug-using people to change their lives."〔("About NADCP" ) NADCP website〕 Auburn University's Kathleen Hale described the NADCP in her 2011 book, ''How Information Matters'', as "the best among extraordinary organizations; whose structure, initiatives, strategies, and planning define excellence in the non-profit world".〔Tauber, Jeffrey: ("Professor Scores NADCP as “CHAMPION” in its Field" ) Reentry Court Solutions〕 ==About== NADCP is headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia and was established in 1994 by the leaders of the first dozen Drug Courts in the United States. Jeffrey Tauber served as the first President, and is still on the board of directors as ''President Emeritus for Life''.〔 In 1995, Assistant Attorney General Laurie Robinson headed the Office of Justice Programs, and after talking to Judge Tauber, agreed to fund a set of standards for drug courts. That financial support was enough for the NADCP to develop "Defining Drug Courts: The Ten Key Components" and firmly establish the organization.〔Tauber, Jeffrey: ("How NADCP got its start" ) Reentry Court Solutions〕 As of 2012, the organization has more than 25,000 members working in 2,663 Drug Courts and 1,219 problem-solving courts, including Domestic Violence, Mental Health, Community and DWI.〔 Members include private criminal defense lawyers, public defenders, prosecutors, probation and parole agents, judges, law enforcement officers, case managers, CPS case workers, therapists, treatment professionals, court administrators and research scientists. The association is governed by a 29-member board of directors, chaired by Judge Ruben Reyes from Texas.〔("Board of Directors" ) NADCP website〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「National Association of Drug Court Professionals」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
