A Controlled Experiment on the Use of Court Probation for Drunk Arrests
Abstract
The authors describe the differential effects of randomly probating chronic drunk offenders to one or another of three treatment conditions: a psychiatrically oriented community alcohol treatment clinic, Alcoholics Anonymous, and no treatment. No statistically significant differences between the three groups were discovered in recidivism rate, in number of subsequent rearrests, or in time elapsed prior to rearrest.
