Innovative approaches  to Criminal Justice Diversion: enhancing access  to substance use education, support and  treatment

Darren Nicholas & Zoe Buczko

Darren and Zoe Buczko provide an overview of Cranstoun’s programme of diversion initiatives, which are designed to divert people away from the criminal justice system and re-focus support on causes of offending to break cycles of crime and reduce demand on policing.

Why don’t  we do  the simple  things well? 

Professor Adam R Winstock

Adam highlights how challenges associated with delivering effective substance use treatment are amplified in the custodial setting, but questions why the system is failing to deliver basic treatment well and offers some simple solutions.
