Evaluating Recidivism Among Drug Offenders in Florida's Residential and Non-Residential Substance Abuse Treatment Programs, 1991-1997
Description
This study was undertaken to investigate the relationship,
if any, between drug treatment and success or failure of drug-involved
offenders on probation/community supervision. Further, the researchers
sought to evaluate the outcomes of drug-involved offenders admitted to
(1) secure residential substance abuse treatment (RSAT) programs, (2)
non-secure residential drug treatment programs, (3) non-residential
drug treatment programs, and (4) no drug treatment programs. Data were
collected from administrative records provided by the Florida
Department of Corrections, specifically case history records of
offenders admitted to supervision in the community from July 1, 1991,
through June 30, 1997. Part 1 is comprised of all cases admitted to
community supervision between July 1, 1991, and June 30, 1993 (fiscal
years 1991 and 1992) and treated in a secure residential drug treatment
program. Part 2 is comprised of all cases admitted to community
supervision from July 1, 1991, through June 30, 1995, receiving
treatment in a non-secure residential drug treatment program. Part 3
contains data on offenders admitted to non-residential drug treatment
programs, whose community supervision admissions were between July 1,
1991, and June 30, 1993. Part 4 contains data on offenders admitted to
non-residential drug treatment programs, whose community supervision
admissions were between July 1, 1993, and June 30, 1995 (fiscal years
1993 and 1994). Part 5 contains data on cases admitted to community
supervision between July 1, 1991, and June 30, 1993, who did not
receive drug treatment of any kind. Cases admitted to community
supervision between July 1, 1993, and June 20, 1995, receiving no drug
treatment are contained in Part 6. Each supervision admission record
contains a history of subsequent court actions that were complete
through December 31, 1997. Variables for all parts include population
estimates, unemployment rates, population by age-specific categories,
violent and nonviolent index offenses, per capita personal income,
clearance rates, split sentence flag, primary offense disposition,
primary offense felony level, current commitment years supervised,
supervision type, whether current offense included a drug charge,
number of prior supervision terms, number of prior commitments,
reasons for failure, treatment facility code, number of drug
sale/traffic offenses, outcome of supervision period, and reasons for
prison intake. Demographic variables include race and gender.
