Title: Benefit-Cost Calculations for Three Adult Drug Courts in Minnesota: A report to the Office of Justice Programs Summary: This paper presents simple benefit-cost calculations for three adult drug courts in Minnesota. These courts, operated in Stearns, Dodge, and Saint Louis counties, have operated since 2001 as an alternative to processing adult drug offenders through criminal courts. The establishment and operations of these courts was supported by more than one million dollars of Federal Byrne Formula Grant funds provided by the Office of Justice Programs (OJP) beginning in 2001 and extending through 2005. Our calculations are based on outcomes data provided by the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA), cost information provided by the counties and OJP, and law enforcement and victim cost information from previous studies. Findings ๔ We estimate that the three drug courts generated $5.08 of benefit for every dollar of operating cost. ๔ Total benefits for the study period are estimated to be $6.8 million. ๔ Total costs for the study period were approximately $1.3 million. Benefits are generated from three sources: (1) saved costs of processing and incarcerating drug court participants for their initial offenses, (2) reduced law enforcement cost and crime victim costs from reduced crimes committed by drug court participants after completing the program, and (3) reduced public costs from fewer subsequent convictions for a variety of crimes. Drug court costs include all aspects of operations including personnel costs, court costs, equipment, supplies and outside consultants. Details: St. Paul, MN: Wilder Research, 2007. 27p.

Author: Minnesota. Judicial Branch. State Court Administrator's Office Title: Minnesota Statewide Adult Drug Court Evaluation Summary: The first drug court in Minnesota started in Hennepin County in 1996. However, not until the mid-2000s did drug courts spread throughout the state, primarily in counties where judges had interest in the drug court concept. By July 2007, Minnesota had 27 operational drug courts, covering one third of Minnesota counties. In 2007, the Judicial Council approved, upon the Drug Court Initiative Advisory Committee (DCI) recommendation, the Drug Court Standards, which became Judicial Council Branch Policy 511.1. The Standards, based on the 10 Key Components published by the U.S. Department of Justiceโs Office of Justice Programs, and written by the National Association of Drug Court Professionals (NADCP), require all drug courts to follow uniform practices. The Standards allow flexibility at the local level, while keeping basic and foundational aspects of drug courts uniform across all locations. The Standards provide the foundation for the evaluation. The research questions evaluate if drug courts meet the three goals of drug courts, as well as the extent courts are employing the practices required and recommended by the Standards. A comparison group is used to evaluate outcome measures related to incarceration and recidivism. In June 2008 the DCI approved the Statewide Drug Court Evaluation plan. The plan focused on a cohort of adult and hybrid drug court participants entering drug courts from July 2007 to December 2008. All drug courts in Minnesota operational during the evaluation period are included in the evaluation. The evaluation measures drug court processes, compliance with the standards, outcomes for incarceration time served by participants, and recidivism rates of new charges and convictions. The comparison group includes court participants meeting drug court eligibility criteria (e.g. chemically dependent) and matching similar characteristics of the selected drug court participants (e.g. offenses, criminal history, and demographics).
