Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Prior research concerning drug courts focuses on graduates of the program and their success rates, defining success as graduation from the program. Anglin, D., Prendergast, M., & Farabee, D. (1998, July). The effect of coerced drug treatment for drug-abusing offenders. In contrast, the current study examines the effects of a participant's length of stay in a community-based treatment program on their likelihood to recidivate. Participants (N=161) were all those participants enrolled in a local drug court treatment program from a two year period. This included those who were successful in the program (graduates) and those who exited the program through any means but graduation (drop-out or removed). All participants in the program that exited the program through any means other than graduation were analyzed. Demographic and social control variables (e.g. religion, employment, etc.) were considered and held constant in determining whether time in the program affects recidivism rates. The most significant finding was that time in the program alone, reduces the likelihood of recidivism in both cohorts when controlling for demographic and social controls. Based on our findings, we suggest that drug courts may wish to increase the duration of their programs and redefine their explanations of success from one of absolutes and graduation to a more stratified definition, identifying recidivism as the main determinant of “success”.
