This study examined criminal activity among 1,167 adolescents who participated in a community based substance abuse treatment study (drug abuse treatment outcome studies for adolescents) (DATOS - A). The primary goals of this study were to asses the effect of substance abuse treatment on adolescent crime and to identify the ptient characteristics that were most closely associated with reductions in crime during the post treatment period. Results comfirmed that among adolescents who had engaged in criminal activity during the 12 months prior to entering DATOS - A treatment, reductions in alcohol or marijuana use were independently associated with significant reductions in the lieklihood of committing crimes during the 12 month follow up period. The present study also provides further support for emphasizing dynamic rather than static patient characteristics to predict the likelihood of continued drug related offending among substance abusing adolescents.
