"Among the findings:

— Drug court graduates are six times less likely to be rearrested within six months of completion of the program than are Tract 3 probationers and half as likely to be rearrested than offenders who complete Tract 1/Prevention Plus.

— After a year following completion of the program, drug court graduates are less likely to rearrested for any kind of crime than are those who complete either of the two other programs."
