TASC programs identify substance-abusing criminal offenders (and nonoffenders in limited cases), assess the nature of their substance abuse problem, refer clients to an appropriate treatment provider, and monitor the client's performance. State central repositories were surveyed to determine what policies and procedures exist at the state level for disseminating CHRI to TASC case management programs. TASC programs were also surveyed to determine the existing barriers that prevent them from obtaining the criminal history records of clients for screening, referral, and monitoring purposes. Results indicate that almost half of the state central repositories will not release their information to TASC programs which may represent a substantial obstacle to access for TASC programs. However, TASC programs are able to gather CHRI from agencies other than the state central repository, such as probation offices, but the information they receive may not be as complete nor accurate as possible. 22 figures, appendix.
