I
thank the member for some notice of the question. I provide the following
response on behalf of the Attorney General.
(1)–(2) The
Western Australian Office of Crime Statistics and Research is developing a monitoring
framework to support a comprehensive evaluation of the Perth Drug Court. Once
developed, it is anticipated that the framework will include participant
demographics, completion rates and recidivism rates among key input, output and
outcome data. The scope of the comprehensive evaluation will include processes,
procedures and eligibility criteria, as well as associated costs.
