Abstract: 

In the present piece, Douglas Marlowe asks why the body of literature examining drug court effectiveness has such varying results (i.e., some see the practice as positive whereas others see it as unnecessary or ineffective). The author concludes that several studies have poor designs and that among properly designed studies, evidence emerges that supports the implementation of drug court programs.
