111 SECTION C NUMBER 07 DATE ISSUED 10/01/09 TITLE Program Recidivism Rate ( X ) This is a new procedure. ( ) This procedure: ( ) Supersedes ( ) Rescinds ( ) Amends SOP#, Dated PURPOSE/SCOPE: This procedure addresses how the program recidivism rate will be calculated. PROCEDURES: Recidivism is defined by the Florida Supreme Court Task Force on Treatment-Based Drug Courts as: (1) Any rearrest for a serious offense* resulting in the filing of a charge for drug court participants during involvement in the drug court program and after successful completion of the program for the following time frames: 0-12 months after program completion; 1-2 years after program completion; and 2+ years after program completion. (2) Recommitment to probation or prison within the Department of Corrections while under supervision or not. Include recommitments for drug court participants during involvement in the drug court program and after completion of the program for the following time frames: 0-12 months after program completion; 1-2 years after program completion; and 2+ years after program completion. * Serious offenses are defined as any arrest and charge with a crime that carries a sentence of at least one year upon conviction. Though not strictly part of the definition of serious offenses, DUI and misdemeanor drug offenses are also important indicators of drug court effectiveness and should be captured. The Palm Beach County Drug Court Mission Statement alleges to assist the participant in developing a structured, disciplined, law-abiding, drug- and alcohol-free way of life; therefore, capturing only serious arrests, resulting in a conviction does not fully address our program s goals. Our program will also capture all DUI offenses, misdemeanor possession of marijuana, and possession of paraphernalia rearrests. All graduates rearrests will be captured for five (5) years after program completion.
