Summary
Increasingly, there is both internal and external pressure on drug law enforcement to demonstrate not just how much work they do (the seizures and arrests), but how well they do it (the community impacts) - something that has so far proven very difficult. This paper outlines the nature of these challenges and summarizes key findings, both conceptual and practical, from the second stage of a major national project aimed at testing the feasibility of a model performance measurement framework for Australian drug law enforcement agencies and providing advice on its national implementation.
