DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This 3-year study evaluates 4 types of courts, general, driving while intoxicated (DWI), drug and hybrid drug. Drug treatment courts (DTC) represent a promising innovation for dealing with crimes committed by offenders with underlying addiction. Following trends in other areas of the law (bankruptcy, family, mental health), states increasingly have implemented specialized courts for substance abuse related criminal cases. These courts combine standard deterrence with efforts to treat offenders underlying addictions. The proposed study seeks to evaluate the intergenerational impact of these specialty courts on crime, education and health. This study has 2 aims. Aim 1 examines effects of drug and alcohol courts in NC on the probability of (l) repeating substance abuse related crimes for which the person was convicted (recidivism) (Subaim 1.1); (2) being convicted of domestic violence related crimes (Subaim 1.2); and (3) being convicted of other crimes to person and to property (Subaim 1.3). Aim 2 measures the effects of adult participation in the DTC on the substance users' children. DTCs are theorized to improve youth outcomes by alleviating problems that affect youth's home environment. Aim 2 has 3 parts. Subaim 2.1 examines effects on time such children spend in foster care. The key hypothesis is that DTCs reduce the number and duration of spells in foster care. Subaim 2.2 assesses whether these courts lead to improved educational outcomes among such children (e.g., improved test scores, retention in grade, lower absences). Subaim 2.3 examines the effect of DTCs on the probability that the children of substance abusers commit crimes as juveniles or young adults. The study setting is North Carolina and as of 2010 had 38 treatment courts. The number of DTCs is up from 1 in 1995 and 10 in 2000. Secondary databases to be used in this analysis are NC state databases, including data from public schools, juvenile justice, social services, and convictions of both drug and non-drug related crimes. !!

描述(申请人提供)：这项为期3年的研究评估了4种类型的法院，普通法院，醉酒驾驶(DWI)，毒品和混合毒品。戒毒法庭(DTC)是处理有潜在毒瘾的罪犯所犯罪行的一项很有前途的创新。根据法律的其他领域(破产、家庭、精神健康)的趋势，各州越来越多地设立专门法院审理与药物滥用有关的刑事案件。这些法院将标准威慑与治疗潜在毒瘾的罪犯的努力结合起来。这项拟议的研究旨在评估这些专门法院对犯罪、教育和健康的代际影响。本研究有两个目的。目的1审查北卡罗来纳州毒品和酒精法庭对(L)重复与药物滥用有关的罪行(累犯)(苏巴伊姆1.1)；(2)被判与家庭暴力有关的罪行(苏巴伊姆1.2)；以及(3)被判对人身和财产其他罪行(苏巴伊姆1.3)的影响。目的2测量成人参与DTC对吸毒者子女的影响。DTC的理论是通过缓解影响青年家庭环境的问题来改善青年的结果。目标2由3个部分组成。Subaim 2.1调查了这些儿童寄养时间的影响。关键假设是，DTC减少了寄养期间的数量和持续时间。Subaim 2.2评估这些法院是否改善了这类儿童的教育结果(例如，提高考试成绩、留级、降低缺勤率)。Subaim 2.3研究了药物滥用者的子女在青少年或青年时期犯罪的可能性。研究的背景是北卡罗来纳州，截至2010年有38个治疗法庭。数字技术中心的数量比1995年的1个和2000年的10个有所增加。本分析中使用的二级数据库是北卡罗来纳州国家数据库，包括公立学校、少年司法、社会服务以及毒品和非毒品相关犯罪定罪的数据。！！
