Obama Administration To Increase Funding for Drug Courts
by BENJAMIN CHAMBERS

drug-court-funding-may-double-MicrophonesNew Drug Czar Gil Kerlikowske (i.e., director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP)) was interviewed on NPR earlier this week when he visited an adult drug court in California.

In the interview, you can hear him talk about the value of drug courts as a crime prevention tool; the Administration's plans to double funding for them; and his dislike of the term "war on drugs."

Juvenile drug courts weren't specifically mentioned; it's unclear if the proposed funding increases would be proportionate.
