The system was designed to expand access to court-mandated treatment for drug-addicted criminal defendants throughout a large urban courthouse. The evaluation found that the initiative led to a significantly larger and more diverse pool of defendants to be screened, referred, and enrolled in treatment. However, it was also the case that large numbers of legally eligible defendants were not referred, despite meeting expanded criteria. Lessons learned are discussed both for Brooklyn and other jurisdictions nationwide. Details: New York: Center for Court Innovation, 2010. 43p.
