Description
|
Drug Treatment and Testing Orders (DTTOs) were introduced as a
new community sentence under the Crime and Disorder Act 1998. They
were designed as a response to the growing evidence of links between
problem drug use and persistent acquisitive offending. The order
was originally piloted at three sites - in Croydon, Gloucestershire
and Liverpool - over an 18-month period, beginning in late 1998.
This report summarises the impact of the order on reconviction rates
two years after the start of the order.
