Racial differences in drug court referral, admission, and graduation rates: Findings from two states and eight counties
Drug courts are often the last chance for criminal justice-involved persons with substance use disorders to avoid incarceration. Given this stark reality, participation in drug court should not be influenced by race. This study tracks cohorts of drug court referrals to compare referral, admission, and graduation rates by race in two states and eight counties in diverse regions of the United States. We compared admission and graduation rates by ra…
A Qualitative Interpretive Meta-Synthesis (Qims) of women’s experiences in drug court: Promoting recovery in the criminal justice system
Drug courts have been part of the criminal justice system for over 30 years. A plethora of quantitative quasi-experimental, experimental, and meta-analytic studies have demonstrated their effectiveness at promoting recovery from substance use disorders and reducing criminal recidivism. Qualitative studies, however, are less common and little is known about specific populations that drug courts serve, such as women. To our knowledge, this is the f…
Employing standardized risk assessment in pretrial release decisions: Association with criminal justice outcomes and racial equity
OBJECTIVE: We examined efforts by a Mississippi court to base pretrial release decisions on risk assessment rather than primarily on bond. HYPOTHESES: (a) Pretrial detention will be shorter than that associated with prevailing bond practices in the same counties. (b) Rearrest rates will be lower than a similar pretrial population in a nearby southern state. (c) False positive rates for predicting rearrests will be higher for African American than…
Developing an Index to Measure the Voluntariness of Consent to Research
The goals of the current study were to expand the content domain and further validate the Coercion Assessment Scale (CAS), a measure of perceived coercion for criminally involved substance abusers being recruited into research. Unlike the few existing measures of this construct, the CAS identifies specific external sources of pressure that may influence one's decision to participate. In Phase 1, we conducted focus groups with criminal justice cli…
Moving beyond BAC in DUI: Identifying Who Is at Risk of Recidivating
Overview of: “Moving beyond BAC in DUI: Identifying Who Is at Risk of Recidivating”
Research Summary Driving under the influence (DUI) represents a significant threat to public safety in the United States, and a significant proportion of first‐time DUI offenders go on to become repeat offenders. Substantial resources have been expended to identify variables that predict DUI recidivism, but less progress has been made in developing clinically useful tools to predict recidivism accurately. In the current study, we developed a brie…

Measuring Coercion to Participate in Research within a Doubly Vulnerable Population: Initial Development of the Coercion Assessment Scale
Despite many efforts aimed to ensure that research participation is autonomous and not coerced, there exists no reliable and valid measure of perceived coercion for the doubly vulnerable population of substance-abusing offenders. The current study describes the development and initial validation of an instrument measuring perceived coercion to participate in research among substance-abusing offenders. The results indicated that a substantial numb…
Availability of Websites Offering to Sell Psilocybin Spores and Psilocybin
This study assesses the availability of websites offering to sell psilocybin spores and psilocybin, a powerful hallucinogen contained in Psilocybe mushrooms. Over a 25-month period beginning in March 2003, eight searches were conducted in Google using the term "psilocybin spores." In each search the first 100 nonsponsored links obtained were scored by two independent raters according to standardized criteria to determine whether they offered to s…
Judicial Supervision of Drug-Abusing Offenders
In recent years,judges have been exercising steadily increasing influence over the disposition and management of drug abusers involved with the criminal justice system. This appears to have been motivated by a perception on the part of some judges that the courts are uniquely situated to bring about optimal outcomes for these individuals. In fact, the results of experimental and survey studies provide substantial support for this perspective, but…

Breaking the Cycle of Drugs and Crime: Findings From the Birmingham BTC Demonstration
Research Summary: We compared 137 felony defendants arrested before the implementation of Breaking the Cycle, a pretrial intervention with felony defendants that included drug testing, supervision, and drug treatment as needed, to 245 BTC participants. We found Significant lower rates of arrest and self‐reported drug use and crime among BTC participants during the next year. Policy Implications: Systematic intervention aimed at all drug‐involved …
Assessment of Depression: Using the MMPI, Millon, and Millon-II
The analysis examined how the MMPI, original Millon, and Millon-II may be used for the assessment of clinical and personality characteristics of depressed patients. High-point code-type analysis of data from 133 depressed inpatients yielded seven MMPI personality profiles (incapacitated-depressive, intropunitive-depressive, caught psychopath, hysteroid-dysphoric, schizotypal-depressive, ruminative-depressive, and psychotic-depressive) and eight M…
Faking Bad” on the MMPI, MMPI-2, and Millon-II
Using the F-minus- K index for MMPI protocols of 134 psychiatric inpatients and MMPI-2 scores of 35 inpatients, and Millon-II Debasement scores of 105 inpatients shows the prevalence of “faking bad,” thereby reflecting the severity of psychopathology in this hospitalized sample
