  Abstract
This process evaluation focuses not only on the results of this study but also raises questions related to comparing the results of studies nationwide to determine the overall effectiveness of Drug Court Policy. In this study, it was determined that demographic characteristics, such as education, employment, and prior felony were among the most useful characteristics for predicting program graduation. Moreover, offenders completing the program had lower recidivism rates than individuals not participating in a drug court program.
