This study used data from a
phone survey inventory of US veterans' courts to provide descriptive
information on the current status of their various elements. To identify which
items were most predictive of a court's percentage of subjects terminated from
their program, a linear regression was performed.
The following were associated
with higher rates of termination from the veterans' court (VC) program:
- programs that offered phase progression based on measurable goals,
- programs that conduct frequent drug and alcohol testing, and
- programs for which sanctions are more severe for failing immediate goals (sobriety) versus long-term ones (completion of training).
- programs in which later phases permit less stringent testing,
- programs utilizing behavioral contracts,
- programs utilizing brief incarcerations.
