Title: Recidivism Rates for DCJ Offenders Exiting Residential A


1
Recidivism Rates for DCJ Offenders Exiting
Residential AD Treatment
  • August 2005
  • Kim Pascual
  • Research Evaluation

2
Methodology
  • Follow-up to a previous study of 1 year pre- post
    arrest rates for those exiting treatment in 2001.
  • All DCJ offenders who exited residential AD
    treatment in 2001, 2002, and 2003, using the
    first treatment episode of the year per offender.
  • All SIDS for each sample entered into the
    DSS-Criminal Justice Data Warehouse to collect
    pre- and post treatment data. Data collected 1
    year prior to treatment and up to 3 years after
    treatment.

Methodology
4
Demographics Gender
There was a 9 increase in the proportion of
males exiting residential treatment over the
previous two years (62 in 2003, up from 57 in
2001 and 2002).
5
Demographics Race
6
Demographics Average LOS
The average Length of Stay decreased by 11 days
from 2001 to 2003
7
Drug of Choice
8
Drug of Choice (cont.)
  • Slight decrease in the percentage of those
    reporting cocaine (17 to 13) and heroin (23 to
    19) as their drug of choice.
  • A two percent increase in the percentage who
    reported methamphetamines as their drug of choice
    (31 to 33).
  • Of those with at least one arrest in the year
    following treatment, close to 30 for each year
    reported methamphetamines as their drug of choice.

9
Treatment Completion
10
Treatment Completion (cont.)
  • Neutral Exit Type Reasons
  • Client was arrested for crime committed prior to
    treatment.
  • Client failed to engage in the program within the
    first 15 days of entering.
  • Client died while in the program.
  • Client was discharge due to needs being better
    served by another agency.
  • Suspension of active status.
  • Other

Neutral Exit Types by Year
12
Post Treatment Arrests
  • For the 2001 sample, post treatment arrest data
    was collected for 1, 2 and 3 years after exit.
  • For the 2002 sample, 1 and 2 years post treatment
    arrest data were analyzed and
  • For the 2003 sample, 1 year post treatment data
    were used.

15
Pre- and Post Treatment Arrests
Percent of Offenders Arrested in the 1 Year Pre-
And Post Treatment
16
Pre- and Post Treatment Arrests
  • For each sample, the percent with an arrest
    ranged between 61 and 67 in the year prior to
    entering treatment.
  • In the year following treatment, the percent with
    an arrest ranged from 41 to 46.
  • Consistently for all three samples, there was at
    least a 20 reduction in the proportion of
    offenders with an arrest after exiting treatment.

17
Engagement Length of Stay
  • Previous report on the sample of clients exiting
    treatment in 2001 indicated that the pre-/post
    arrest reduction was greatest for those
    successfully completing treatment.
  • Same report also indicated that clients with a
    LOS greater than 120 days had the highest
    pre-/post treatment arrest reduction rates.
  • A report on Multnomah Countys Alcohol Drug
    data for FY00-04 showed that for all treatment
    modalities, the rates of completion of treatment
    were highest for those who had a LOS between 90
    and 180 days.

22
Limitations
  • Treatment data per offender are limited to the
    first episode closed during the year under study.
    Creates the possibility that an offender was in a
    subsequent treatment episode during the
    post-study period, thus limiting their time in
    the community.
  • Did not control for an offenders opportunity to
    re-offend.
  • A more accurate portrayal of completion rates
    would include ALL treatment episodes.
  • Arrest data are only as reliable as the data
    extracted from the DSS Justice Warehouse.

23
Conclusions
  • Over the three year period, there was a 12
    decrease in the percent completing treatment
    successfully.
  • There was a 15 increase in the percentage
    exiting treatment as Neutral with the majority
    coded as Failing to Engage.
  • Comparison of arrest data for one year pre- and
    post treatment showed at least a 20 reduction in
    the proportion of offenders with an arrest.

24
Conclusions (cont.)
  • Clients with an LOS in treatment greater than 90
    days had much higher rates of successful
    completion and a considerably higher rate of
    reduction in pre- and post arrest rates.
  • African Americans with an LOS greater than 90
    days had slightly lower rates of successful
    completion and lower pre-post arrest reduction
    rates compared to Anglos.

25
Recommendations
  • Further investigate the possible reasons for why
    clients are failing to engage in treatment.
  • Begin discussion with providers about how
    treatment engagement can be increased for our
    clients.
  • Determine what factors may contribute to the
    differences in successful completion and arrest
    reduction rates between Anglos and African
    Americans.
