Treatment Alternatives to Street Crime (TASC) provides an objective bridge between two separate institutions: the criminal justice system and the drug treatment community.

TASC operates in more than 100 jurisdictions. Covers: empirical and theoretical foundations of TASC; early years of TASC; early TASC evaluations; the current structure of TASC; and the future of TASC. References.
