Annotated Bibliography Kornhauser, R. 2016. “The effectiveness of Australia’s drug courts”. Australian & New Zealand Journal of Criminology. doi: 10.1177/0004865816673412 In this article, it looks at the effectiveness of drug courts compared to the more conventional court penalties on offenders. Kornhauser (2016) indicates how drug courts reduce offender’s chances reoffending by entering them into treatment programs, over incarceration. Kornhauser (2016) states there’s a lack of consistent evidence to prove this theory. Drug courts started its first rehabilitation program in NSW in 1999. Drug courts can now be found operating in other Australian jurisdictions to combat crime.
