Promising Practices and Strategies to Reduce Alcohol and Substance Abuse among American Indians and Alaska Natives

The DoJ supports the efforts of tribal governments to develop comprehensive strategies to address alcohol & substance abuse & related crime. Such strategies draw people together to act in unison to build a partnership composed of tribal leaders, the tribal court, prosecutors, law enforce. agents, corrections personnel, spiritual leaders & tribal members. The Programs showcased here represent 3 types of initiatives designed to reduce alcohol abuse & increase community safety: efforts that control the availability of alcohol within a tribal jurisdiction; educational & treat. efforts; & efforts that reduce the social & environ. factors that increase the risk of harm to the individual & community.Reno, Janet is the author of 'Promising Practices and Strategies to Reduce Alcohol and Substance Abuse among American Indians and Alaska Natives', published 2001 under ISBN 9780756715991 and ISBN 0756715997.
