“…In particular, it is clear that Alm played a major role in HOPE's success in Hawaii; it presents a significant, though not insurmountable, challenge for this aspect to be replicated. Nevertheless, other jurisdictions that have sought to adopt programs based on HOPE have mostly demonstrated reductions in drug use, recidivism, custody and costs (see Carns and Martin, 2011;Cowell et al, 2016;DeVall et al, 2015;Grommon et al, 2013;Hamilton et al, 2015Hamilton et al, , 2016Hawken and Kleiman, 2011;Kunkel and White, 2013;Shannon et al, 2015;Snell, 2007;Stevens-Martin, 2014;Zajac et al, 2015Zajac et al, , 2016cf.

This article seeks to understand Hawaii's Opportunity Probation with Enforcement (HOPE) program through a desistance framework. The article commences with a brief overview of the literature on desistance and HOPE. It then explains how HOPE works. The main section of the paper describes observations of HOPE in action and the extent to which these align with McNeill et al.'s (2012) eight principles of desistance. The paper concludes with some observations on the HOPE program as a pathway towards hope, desistance and the promise of better communities.

“…The other four studies (producing five publications) were conducted in Sweden [40], China [41], Spain [42,43], and Australia [44]. Six trials did not specify the sample gender [15,40,45,46,47,48], six trials contained female only samples [34,35,44,49,50,51,52], nine trials (and 13 publications) contained only male adult offenders [53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65]; and 22 trials (and 25 publications) contained male and female adult offenders [13,16,41,44,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83,84,85,86,87,88,89,90]. Eight comparisons considered young and/or juvenile offenders [16,49,56,57,66,…”

Background: The numbers of incarcerated people suffering from drug dependence has steadily risen since the 1980s and only a small proportion of these receive appropriate treatment. A systematic review to evaluate the effectiveness and economic evidence of non-pharmacological interventions for drug using offenders was conducted. Methods: Cochrane Collaboration criteria were used to identify trials across 14 databases between 2004 and 2014. A series of meta-analyses and an economic appraisal were conducted. Results: 43 trials were identified showing to have limited effect in reducing re-arrests RR 0.97 (95% CI 0.89–1.07) and drug use RR 0.90 (95% CI 0.80–1.00) but were found to significantly reduce re-incarceration RR 0.70 (95% CI 0.57–0.85). Therapeutic community programs were found to significantly reduce the number of re-arrests RR 0.70 (95% CI 0.56–0.87). 10 papers contained economic information. One paper presented a cost-benefit analysis and two reported on the cost and cost effectiveness of the intervention. Conclusions: We suggest that therapeutic community interventions have some benefit in reducing subsequent re-arrest. We recommend that economic evaluations should form part of standard trial protocols.

“…Grommon, Cox, Davidson, and Bynum () reported shorter and longer term results for a HOPE‐like intervention targeting parolees in a “Midwestern industrialized state.” Their study involved a randomized controlled trial (RCT) with individuals assigned to the intervention condition (HOPE‐like), n = 136 in control group I (this included a hotline with a 4‐day wait for lab results, and standard sanctions), and n = 112 in control group II (no hotline and standard sanctions). The HOPE‐like group “showed substantially lower rates of drug use” and “was significantly less likely to have recidivated during the first 6 months” (p. 160).…”

N e w Y o r k U n i v e r s i t y W e expect that responses to the Demonstration Field Experiment (DFE) results (Lattimore et al., 2016, this issue) based on Hawaii's Opportunity Probation with Enforcement or HOPE strategy will mostly fall into three categories: celebrators, disappointed, and intrigued. The CelebratorsFrom its inception, many were unenthusiastic about HOPE. To be fair, several of us who were involved with assessing early implementation were similarly skeptical, especially those of us who prefer a public-health approach to substance-use disorders. But the manner in which Judge Steven Alm engaged the probationers who came before him in his courtroom demonstrated his interest in improving their futures. There was an atmosphere of goodwill in his court, in the probation office, and even at the jail. HOPE seemed worth exploring further, especially in light of positive evaluation findings produced by the research division at the Hawaii Office of the Attorney General. Our first evaluation confirmed those findings: Compared with those on probation as usual, probationers who had been assigned to HOPE had fewer new arrests, missed appointments, and positive urines, and they were less likely to be revoked and returned to prison.
