Abstract
AbstractThis exploratory study examined juvenile drug courts’ effect on adulthood recidivism. Utilizing a twelve‐year average follow up time, adult recidivism rates were compared between previous juvenile drug court participants and a comparison group of juveniles who participated in traditional probation. Linear regression models indicated limited recidivism effects of drug court on arrests or convictions into adulthood. The findings suggest that gender and race may play a role in how justice‐involved juveniles interact and experience juvenile drug court, highlighting the need for gender‐responsive and culturally responsive policies, practices, and programs within juvenile drug courts. Recommendations are made regarding future research areas and ways to potentially improve long‐term juvenile drug court outcomes.
