使用北卡罗来纳州的行政数据，这项研究检查了参加特殊混合毒品和醉酒驾驶(DWI)法庭计划后的累犯率。考虑了三个法院项目的参与级别-被转介、注册和完成一个专门的法院项目。酒后驾车累犯率的衡量标准是：酒后驾车被捕人数和被捕总人数，以及在两年或四年的后续期间被判酒后驾车罪。采用倾向性评分匹配的方法获得可比的对照组。通过四年的随访，与从未被转介到专门法院计划的匹配个人相比，完成专门法庭计划的被判酒后驾车犯罪的人与重新被捕和重新定罪的匹配个人相比，具有更大的减少。酒后驾车法庭在减少再次逮捕方面比混合毒品法庭更有效。虽然从参与者的角度来看很有希望，但很少有被判酒后驾车的人被移交给这两种类型的法院，从而限制了这一战略在减少酒后驾车事故方面的潜在有效性。
Using North Carolina administrative data, this study examined recidivism following participation in specialty hybrid drug and driving while intoxicated (DWI) court programs. Three court program participation levels were considered—being referred to, enrolling in, and completing a specialty court program. Measures of DWI recidivism were: arrest and total number of arrests for DWI, and being convicted of DWI during follow-up periods of two and, alternatively, four years. Propensity score matching was used to obtain comparable control groups. Using a four-year follow-up, persons convicted of a DWI who completed a specialty court program were associated with a greater reduction in DWI re-arrests and re-convictions than did matched individuals who were never referred to a specialty court program. DWI courts were more effective in reducing re-arrests than hybrid drug courts were. Although promising from the vantage point of participants, few persons convicted of a DWI were referred to either court type, thus limiting this strategy’s potential effectiveness in reducing DWI.
