Abstract
This exploratory study examines the effectiveness of SAFE Court, a prostitution problem-solving court located in Harris County, Texas (Houston). During a two-year period, 344 participants were screened for SAFE Court eligibility. Of these, 230 individuals refused participation, 68 entered SAFE Court, and 46 entered community supervision. These three groups were compared on recidivism, as measured by rearrest. Results indicate that community supervision participants recidivated less than participants who refused SAFE Court, but SAFE Court participants did not differ from community supervision participants or the SAFE Court refusal group. Prior arrest served as the strongest predictor of recidivism.
