2003
 Mississippi Alyce Griffin Clarke Drug Court Act
The 2003 Legislature of Mississippi intended to facilitate local drug
court alternative orders adaptable to chancery, circuit, county, youth,
municipal, and justice courts. The goals of the drug courts under this
act include the following:
-
To reduce alcoholism and other drug dependencies
among adult and juvenile offenders and defendants and among respondents
in juvenile petitions for abuse, neglect or both
-
To reduce criminal and delinquent recidivism and
the incidence of child abuse and neglect
-
To reduce the alcohol-related and other
drug-related court workload
-
To increase personal, familial and societal
accountability of adult and juvenile offenders, defendants, and
respondents in juvenile petitions for abuse, neglect or both
-
To promote effective interaction and use of
resources among criminal and juvenile justice personnel, child protective
services personnel and community agencies.
