Résumé : |
ENGLISH : The UN Office on Drugs and Crime has announced that drug-treatment courts work. Evaluations from three continents consistently showed that drugs courts effectively reduce recidivism and underlying addiction problems of drug-abusing off enders, but by how much is not revealed. Instead, testimonials to success run along such lines as: Only 11.6% of those who complete the drug court programme run into trouble again with the law. The Ministry of Justice wants to evaluate four new drugs courts in England. Four have been established already without formal experiment: in Glasgow and Fife, Leeds, and west London. Process and cost evaluations, for want of power and a proper comparator, failed to quantify effectiveness at reducing recidivism or mortality in drug-dependent off enders.
