“…In a study of a Florida drug court, Senjo and Leip (2001) investigated four key components of the drug court model, including court-monitoring comments from the judge (coded as supportive, adversarial, or indifferent during court observations), treatment (services utilized), court procedure variables (such as the amount of time in the program and the drug charge), and offender demographics. Controlling for other factors, offenders who received a higher ratio of supportive comments out of all comments were more likely to complete the program than offenders who received a lower percentage of supportive comments.…”

While research has confirmed their role adaptation and importance in reducing recidivism in drug courts, little research has documented the role of the judge in reentry courts. Based on interviews with participants and the workgroup, court observations, and a document analysis, this study revealed that judges in a federal reentry court program balance informal, supportive relationships with participants with more traditional, authoritative, disciplinarian roles. The implications of this balancing act for participants' perceptions and other reentry court programs are also discussed.

a b s t r a c tThis study analyzes three years of data on misdemeanor drug offenders in Winnebago County, Wisconsin. A portion of these offenders opted into a Misdemeanor Drug Diversion Program (MDDP) offered instead of traditional adjudication. Recidivism in the treatment and comparison groups is estimated using standard binary response techniques augmented with propensity score matching to address selection bias. Results show that the MDDP reduces the probability of re-offense by 16%, after adjusting for possible selection bias. Cox proportional hazard modeling is also used to assess time-to-re-offense differentials between the treatment and comparison groups. The survival analysis indicates that the hazard rate of re-offense is 60% lower per day among those treated with the MDDP program than those who did not complete the program. The average number of days to re-offense among those that do re-offend is 297 days in the treatment group and 203 days in the comparison group.

“…In the rare instances when theoretical issues are paramount, the tendency is to subsume the DC under an already developed middle-range justice framework. On the one hand, the underlying theory of the DC is seen as an elaboration of the therapeutic jurisprudence model (e.g., Senjo and Leip 2001). On the other hand, the DC is envisioned as a development of the restorative justice paradigm (e.g., Sanford and Arrigo 2005).…”
