Report No. GGD-97-106
Subject
Summary:

Since the 1980s, drug cases have been overwhelming judicial dockets. To cope with the deluge of drug cases and the cycle of criminal recidivism common among drug offenders, some state and local jurisdictions have been establishing drug courts--special judicial proceedings generally used for nonviolent drug offenders that feature supervised treatment and periodic drug testing. The Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 authorizes the award of federal grants for drug court programs that include court-supervised drug treatment. This report discusses the (1) universe of and funding for drug court programs; (2) approaches, characteristics, and completion and retention rate of existing programs; (3) extent to which program and participant data are maintained and used to manage and evaluate drug court programs; and (4) conclusions that can be drawn from published and unpublished evaluations of the impact of drug court programs.
