Annotation
Systematic urine-test data from arrestees in Washington, D.C. improved risk classification of arrestees with regard to pretrial rearrest, failure-to-appear, and overall pretrial misconduct; urine testing of defendants released before trial was an effective "signaling" mechanism of post-release risk.
Abstract
Successful participants in the pretrial urine-testing program had rates of misconduct that were about one-half the rates for individuals who failed to show up for urine testing or who dropped out after only a few tests. 2 notes, 2 tables, and 14 references (Author abstract)
