Abstract This study examined factors associated with postprogram recidivism for male and female drug court participants. Secondary data, including the drug court participant assessment and Management Information System, as well as official state records for arrests, convictions, and incarcerations, were examined for a stratified random sample of drug court participants (males: n = 322; females: n = 284). Examining two-year postprogram recidivism for males, three variables were associated with reduced odds of recidivism: age, marital status, and number of days in drug court. For males, one variable was associated with increased odds of recidivism: number of positive drug tests during drug court. Examining two-year postprogram recidivism for females, four variables were associated with reduced odds of recidivism: age, employment status, number of days in drug court, and receiving ancillary services during drug court. For females, two variables were associated with increased odds of recidivism: prior misdemeanor alcohol conviction and number of positive drug tests during drug court. Findings suggest some overlap in factors of influence for postprogram recidivism, yet also unique contributions by gender. Data suggest the importance of understanding risks and needs to properly match services to individuals.

在全州毒品法庭计划中检查性别和与程序后再犯有关的因素

摘要这项研究探讨了男性和女性毒品法庭参与者与程序后再犯有关的因素。检查了包括毒品法庭参与者评估和管理信息系统在内的二级数据，以及逮捕，定罪和监禁的官方国家记录，以获取毒品法庭参与者的分层随机样本（男性：n = 322；女性：n = 284）。在对男性进行程序后两年的累犯检查时，三个变量与累犯几率降低有关：年龄，婚姻状况和在药店的工作天数。对于男性来说，一个变量与累犯几率增加有关：毒品法庭上积极的药物检测次数。在对女性进行程序后两年的累犯检查时，有四个变量与累犯几率降低有关：年龄，就业状况，在禁毒法庭工作的天数，以及在禁毒法庭接受辅助服务的天数。对于女性而言，两个变量与累犯几率增加相关：先前轻罪酒精定罪和毒品法庭中积极药物检测的次数。研究结果表明，影响程序后再犯的因素有些重叠，但按性别也有独特贡献。数据表明了解风险和正确匹配个人服务的需求的重要性。
