Published and unpublished program evaluations done between 1999 and April 2001 or 28 drug courts, 7 juvenile drug courts, one family drug court, and one DUI court are reviewed. Sections of this publication include: executive summary; article summaries; introduction; method; findings (client characteristic, program operations, program outcomes, cost analysis, juvenile drug court evaluations, and family drug court evaluation); and discussion. Some of the findings consistent with those of 1998 and 1999 are: relative reduction in drug use and criminal activity while participants are in programs; lower rearrest and recidivism rates for program participants; and generation of net cost savings.
