Which organization called for the universal screening of all arrestees in 2009?

The correct answer is the National Association of Counties, which, in 2009, advocated for the universal screening of all arrestees. This organization recognized the importance of assessing individuals who are arrested for mental health and substance use disorders to ensure appropriate interventions and services are provided. Universal screening aims to identify those in need of treatment and support at the earliest stage, potentially reducing recidivism and improving overall public safety.

The American Bar Association, while involved in various criminal justice reform initiatives, did not specifically champion universal screening for arrestees in that year. The American Psychological Association focuses more on the psychological aspects of health and well-being and is not typically involved in policy recommendations concerning criminal justice processes. The National Council on Crime and Delinquency is centered on research and advocacy but did not specifically lead the universal screening initiative for arrestees in 2009.
