Abstract

ABSTRACT This research examines the impact of participation in a federal reentry court program on supervision violations, revocations, and re-arrest. We evaluate a federal reentry court that utilized random selection and random assignment of participants to treatment groups and random selection for control groups. Outcomes examined include: number of supervision violations, non-technical violations, and re-arrests; and relative risk of supervision violation, non-technical violation, supervision revocation, and re-arrest. Negative binomial and Cox regression models suggest that participation in reentry court had little impact on supervision outcomes or re-arrest. Specifically, although the reentry court participants had more supervision violations compared to the control group, on average, there were no other differences based on reentry court participation. The survival analysis revealed no statistically significant differences in supervision outcomes or re-arrest for reentry court participants compared to other study groups. This study contributes to the scant and conflicting literature on reentry court programs.
