Researchers at RAND Corp., led by Martin Y. Iguchi, Ph.D., studied the implementation of California's Proposition 36, a program that diverts people convicted of nonviolent drug-possession offenses from incarceration to parole with drug treatment. Orange County, Calif., served as the study site.

The project was part of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's (RWJF) national Substance Abuse Policy Research Program (SAPRP) (for more information see Grant Results).

Key Findings

Overall, results suggest that there has been no overwhelming change in the aggregate level of crime committed in Orange County as a result of Proposition 36. However, further research is required to confirm these results.

Funding
RWJF supported the project with a solicited grant of $253,817 between February 2002 and July 2004.
