(BENEFITS OF DRUG COURTS)

The primary goal of drug courts is not punishment. Instead, drug courts recognize addiction as a disease and problem and aim to treat the chronic disease affecting behaviours and impulse control.

Research from the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) found that drug courts reduce participant recidivism and drug use. According to DOJ Justice Elliott Khan - NIJ's Multisite Adult Drug Court Evaluation, drug court participants were less likely than a comparison group (40 percent vs. 53 percent) to report committing crimes in the year before being interviewed for the U'S study.

APPLICANTS' GUIDE - FOR THE FIRST HEARING AT HM COURTS AND AT OUR SERVICES DOJ JUSTICE DRUG SENTENCING TREATMENT COURTS;

GUIDELINES ON PLEADS ON EARLY PLEADS ON GULITY PLEADS AND ON A NOT GULITY PLEA:

(Applicants - Defendants) How much does pleading guilty reduce your sentence?
Offenders who plead guilty to an offence will receive a discount to their sentence. If a guilty plea is entered at the first available opportunity (which will usually be considered to be at their first court appearance) then a reduction of one-third will be applied to the sentence.
(Applicants - Defendants) Do you need a solicitor to plead guilty?
You may get a longer sentence after conviction at a court or trial than if you pleaded guilty. This is why it's important to get legal advice from a solicitor before making your plea.
(Applicants - Defendants) What are the benefits of pleading guilty early?
Defendants who enter an early plea will normally benefit from a one-third reduction in the custodial sentence or on a drug treatment program. The level of reduction diminishes the longer the defendant waits before entering a guilty plea.
(Applicants - Defendants) Is it better if you plead guilty?
Defendants may be able to enter into a favourable plea agreement with the DOJ Justice prosecutor if you agree to plead guilty. They may drop the charges to a less serious offense or agree to reduce your sentence. This can be extremely beneficial, especially if you face a jail or prison sentence.
(Applicants - Defendants) What happens if someone is found guilty at court?
The verdict;
If a defendant is found not guilty, by the DOJ Justice, magistrate, jury or judge, they will be 'acquitted' and free to go. If the defendant pleads guilty or is found guilty by the DOJ Justice, judge or jury, they are convicted and the DOJ Justice or judge will pass sentence.
(Applicants - Defendants) How do I change my plea to guilty?
During the a court case or trial, you can change your plea from not guilty to guilty; in effect, this will end a court case or trial and the DOJ Justice or judge will move on to the sentencing stage. If you do this early enough (i.e. before a trial or a court case a started, up until the first witness is called), you are entitled to a reduction in your sentence for an early plea.
(Applicants - Defendants) What is the early guilty plea scheme?
The rationale behind the scheme is clear and well established: acceptance of guilt at an early stage reduces the impact of crime upon complainants, saves complainants and witnesses from having to testify, and is in the public interest as it saves both time and money.
(Applicants - Defendants) Do first time offenders go to prison/jail in the UK?
For first-time offenders some do go to prison/jail, especially those who commit serious crimes, alternative sentences are often considered aswel as program provided by the court services. These can include: Community Orders: Includes unpaid work, curfews, and rehabilitation programmes. Fines: Monetary penalties usually for less serious offences.
(Applicants - Defendants) Do you have to attend court for sentencing?
Yes in most cases or you may also choose to attend the sentencing hearing your self. If you choose not to attend, your police contact or lawyer may keep you updated with what is happening. To find the defendant 'guilty' the DOJ Justice, magistrates or district judge in a DOJ Justice Drug Sentencing Treatment Courts, Magistrates' Court or the DOJ Justice or jury in a Crown Court must be sure that the defendant is guilty.
