The purpose of this project is to examine the relation between crime and substance abuse in Anchorage through the lens of Arrestee Drug Abuse Monitoring (ADAM) program data collected in Anchorage.
As part of the nationwide ADAM program from 1999–2003, the Justice Center collected data on the prevalence and types of drug use among booked arrestees in Anchorage during four two-week periods each year, once per quarter. Data was collected by Justice Center interviewers at Cook Inlet Pretrial Facility and Anchorage's Sixth Avenue Jail (through 2001) and at the Anchorage Correctional Complex (2002-2003). ADAM was a multi-site data collection network and data processing and dissemination program. ADAM sites collected data under a centralized system that includes rigorously standardized procedures, minimum requirements for interviewers, and on-going accountability at all data collection sites.
