An Outcome Program Evaluation of the Multnomah County S.T.O.P. Drug Court Diversion Program [PDF] Clients who participated in the STOP Drug Court Diversion program (graduates and non-graduates) had 61% fewer subsequent arrests over a two-year period compared with a matched sample of clients who, in the same time period, were eligible for the program but did not receive it. STOP graduates had 80% fewer total subsequent serious felony arrests than the comparison group clients over a two-year period. According to figures from the STOP program grant, an estimated $1,002,979 in tax money was spent per cohort of clients who participated in the program. With the estimated total of $2,476,795 of avoided costs savings, we calculate that every taxpayer dollar spent on those cohorts produced $2.50 of avoided costs savings to the taxpayer of Multnomah County. Furthermore, if the broader costs (including victimization and theft costs) are estimated, the ratio of benefit to the Oregon taxpayer is $10 saved for every $1 spent. |

Residential treatment completers were incarcerated at a rate of 70% lower than the matched group. For clients who completed treatment, open child welfare cases decreased by 50% subsequent to treatment. |
