Abstract

This summary sets out the findings of this process evaluation of the pilot Dedicated Drug Courts. The DDC pilot aimed to improve the processes and effectiveness of the magistrates’ courts in dealing with drug-misusing offenders, aiming to reduce drug use and reoffending and improve sentence completion and compliance. It provided a new framework in magistrates’ courts for dealing with drug-misusing offenders who committed low-level ‘acquisitive’ crime to fund their addiction.
