Description
A series of six monographs document an evaluation of a urine-testing program undertaken by the District of Columbia's Pretrial Services Administration (PSA). This fifth volume presents a statistical analysis of the relationship between the behavior of defendants ordered by the court into PSA's pretrial urine-testing program and subsequent observation of pretrial misconduct, that is, pretrial rearrest or failure-to-appear for court. In particular, the monograph considers whether the relative success of defendants while in the urine-testing program is associated with different rates of pretrial misconduct and whether the urine-testing program can be viewed as a "signaling device" by which defendants identify themselves -- after they have been released to await trial -- as posing either high or low pretrial release risks.
