Deterring Drug Use With Intensive Probation in New Jersey, 1989-1990
Description
These data were collected to measure the degree to which
subjective deterrence and rational choice are effective in reducing
drug-use recidivism rates. Baseline interviews were conducted with
participants upon entering a drug rehabilitation program in New
Jersey. Under the terms of this program, which was an alternative to
prison, any incident of drug use occurring during the rehabilitation
period would result in the participant's returning to
prison. Follow-up interviews were conducted when the participant
either had a drug/alcohol use relapse or successfully completed a year
in the program without a drug-use incident. Baseline interviews
included questions about criminal and drug-use history, as well as
initial reactions to the drug rehabilitation program. Follow-up
interviews probed for participants' feelings about the drug
rehabilitation program experience. Further questions concerned
participants' failure or success at staying away from drugs or
alcohol.
