Early Implementation of Proposition 36
This article examines key differences emerging in implementation of California's Proposition 36 voter initiative across eight diverse large, medium, and small counties. The data were collected in 2001 in a key informant survey of county policymakers.

The women sleuths are neither victims nor villains,…
