Performance and Outcome Measures

Why is Drug Court Data Important to Me?

• Courts that were evaluated and used the results to make changes to their court had 85% greater reductions in recidivism.

• These same courts had 100% higher cost savings than courts who did NOT use evaluations to modify their programs.

Trends in Performance &

Outcome Measures

• Ensure the court is targeting prison-bound offenders (legislative intent)

• Drug courts show the greatest benefits for high risk offenders - those with more prior felony convictions, with relatively more severe antisocial backgrounds or treatment-resistant histories.*

• These high-risk offenders are the most in need of the intensive supervision services as embodied in the 10 Key Components of drug courts.*

Matching Drug Court Participant Data

with Oklahoma Employment Security Commission • Purpose

– Research/Cost-Benefit Analysis– Validation/Verification of Drug Court Coordinator

Data in DC WEBS• Research Questions

– What percentage of participants are employed before, during and after drug court?

– What is the income of participants before, during and after drug court?

– How much income is earned through wages from drug court graduates?

– How much tax revenue is generated from drug court graduates?

Drug Court Data Collection

Importance of Data Collection

How ODMHSAS Utilizes DC WEBS Data1. Provides drug court team with data about

• performance and outcome measures compared to other courts and the state

• demographics• offense types• drug of choice• violations/sanctions and incentives

2. Demonstrates to the legislature and other stakeholders the effectiveness of drug courts

3. Determines court’s funding4. Program monitoring 5. Potential grant funding

Drug Court Outcomes & Funding

• Percent of Participants without Prior Felony Sentences– Percent of admissions with no priors (the lower the

better)• Completion Rate

– Percent of discharges that are grads• Employment

– Percent of graduates that are unemployed at graduation (the lower the better)

• Percent without H.S. Diploma/GED– Percent of graduates that do not have a H.S.

Diploma/GED at graduation (the lower the better)• Percent of Children Living with Participant

– Percent of the participants’ children that are living with them at graduation (the higher the better)

Percent of participants without priors over current FY state averageOR

0 of 4 outcomes better than/at state average (employment, children living with parents, education, or completion rate)

Percent of participants without priors less than current FY state average

AND2 of 4 outcomes data better than/at state average (employment,

YTD Outcomes (for completion rate last 2

fiscal years’ data is used)

Active Counts & Funding

• Run monthly on the 3rd of each month• Only records that have been updated in the

last 60 days are counted as active• The monthly active count includes all

participants that have been active at least one day during the month– Ex. Participant is pled in on the last day of the

month– Ex. Participant graduates on the first day of the

month– BOTH are counted as active for the month

Using Your DC WEBS Data

• Show community your court’s successes

• Track your own program’s progress• Apply for grants• Your court’s state funding is

dependent on data!

Target Population

• Demographics Report

• Criminal Justice Report

Compare Demographics to the general criminal justice population to make sure your court isn’t missing out on including certain groups.

• Ensure that you are targeting prison-bound offenders (legislative intent)

• “Research reveals that it is these high-risk offenders who are most in need of the intensive supervision services embodied in the 10 Key Components of drug courts.”*

• “Drug Courts have been shown to produce the greatest benefits for offenders who have relatively more severe antisocial backgrounds or treatment-resistant histories.”*

Another way to check target population.

Check performance measures.

Check outcome measures.

Your court’s outcomes are also sent out quarterly.

Goals and Plans

• Develop goals for your court to improve target population, performance and outcomes.– Good goals for outcomes for adult drug courts

is the state totals because they are what are used for funding.

• Identify and implement strategies to attain your goals– Your field reps are good resources for ideas

• Check your data periodically to see if you have reached your goals
