| Zusammenfassung: | Prior research indicates a large number of drug court participants commit technical violations, subsequently increasing the likelihood of revocation. However, there is limited research investigating the potential heterogeneous effects of technical violations on probation revocation in the context of drug court participation as a condition of probation. The current study provides an initial investigation into the relationship between specific categories of technical violations for offenders court-ordered to participate in a drug court. Results indicate that while the total number of violations predicts revocation and jail sanctions, specific violations have varying effects. Specifically, positive drug tests during court participation significantly predicted probation revocation. Regarding jail sanctions, all categories of violations with the exception of failure to pay and “other” violations were predictive of receiving jail time. Policy implications for probation practice are provided. |
