Drug court programs were established beginning in the late 1980s as
a local response to increasing numbers of drug-related cases and
expanding jail and prison populations nationwide. A drug court is a
specialized court-based program that targets criminal offenders who
have alcohol and other drug addiction and dependency problems. Drug
courts have implemented deferred prosecution or post-adjudication
case-processing approaches, or have blended both in their
organizational structures. In drug courts, using deferred
prosecution, defendants waive rights to a trial and enter a
treatment program shortly after being charged; those who
subsequently fail to complete the treatment program have their
charges adjudicated, while those who complete the program are not
prosecuted further. This book provides an overview and assessment
of the adult drug court system, with a focus on the rate of
recidivism and performance measure revision efforts.
