Classes that I have gained knowledge from and relate to this field based research project includes: Grant Strategies and Preparation, Research Methods, and Crisis Communication Course. Grant writing course was one of the first classes I completed for the public administration program.

Over the past few years, the addiction of heroin has increased due to varieties of reason in different communities across the United States. The majority of media attention is focused on suburban, white, middle-class heroin abusers, meaning that the majority of America’s effort and resources to end the Heroin Epidemic is mainly for the White Community.

The first drug court was established in Miami-Dade, Florida in 1989. Drug courts were established because of the “revolving door of drug use” and increasing recidivism rates. Drug courts have the ability to change a person’s life for the better by teaching them how to beat their addictions while providing the proper treatments for each offender. As a result, of the ongoing development of drug courts it is unfair to expect the system to be indefectible. Still, there are many benefits in participating in the drug court system.

Before the survey questions relevant to the topic are presented, the first 3 questions cover background information that i felt was necessary for this topic. Public attitudes involve the public as a whole, including families, different ages, and therefore it is important to gather this personal information about the respondent. Public attitudes as a whole are important in this topic as victims of crime tend to be the more vulnerable groups, such as the elderly, females, and young people. From this their response to the reintegration of offenders maybe substantially different to those of the less vulnerable groups. Additionally, offenders most likely to be reintegrated into society are those who have committed sexually orientated crimes and as a result of this, women and children are most at risk of being victims of these crimes (Rubin, 1984).

The interview that is conducted may be biased and the people might give favorable answers just to impress the interviewee.
