Excerpt
Foreword: James O. Finckenauer James O. Finckenauer is director of the International Center of the National Institute of Justice. He is on leave from the Rutgers University School of Criminal Justice, where he is a professor of criminal justice. The International Arrestee Drug Abuse Monitoring (I?ADAM) program began just over 2 years ago. I?ADAM in Eight Countries: Approaches and Challenges is the first look at the general results of this international experiment. The compendium provides an update?a kind of status report?on the state of I?ADAM?s implementation. It also provides an opportunity to address the broader subject of international comparative research. Research purporting to examine crime and justice issues across national boundaries, while occasionally lauded, has been relatively rare. This rarity is attributable in part to the great difficulties faced by any would-be comparativists; some of these difficulties are of sufficient gravity to call into question the very worth of any such undertakings.
