They emerged as a result of growing disenchantment with the ability of traditional criminal justice approaches to provide longterm solutions to the cycle of drug use and crime. Drug Courts aim to assist drug-dependent offenders to overcome both their drug dependence and their criminal offending. A Drug Court program sees the justice system working hand-in-hand with health and other helping agencies, whereby a comprehensive, intensive program of recovery is supervised by the Court. Drug Courts have been comprehensively evaluated, and found to be both successful in reducing reoffending, and cheaper than gaol. So the Drug Court brings together resources and skills, and assists offenders to move away from drugs and crime. Judicial supervision has been identified as a key component in the success of Drug Court programs. There are two aspects to that role the judge s role as the leader of a diverse team, and the judge s role in the courtroom and with the participants. Judge Dive will describe the workings of the Drug Court, and the techniques used with participants to assist them in their recovery from long-term addictions. Judge Roger Dive has been a Judge of the District Court of NSW, and the Senior Judge of the Drug Court, since July Before those appointments Judge Dive had been a Local Court Magistrate since 1989, sitting in both city and country courts. During his tenure at the Drug Court, the court became a permanent part of the justice system of NSW, and has expanded to three locations. The Drug Court now provides programs for 250 participants across the three centres. Judge Dive held the roles of Senior Civil Magistrate and Senior Children s Magistrate during 15 years on that bench. In the Children s Court, Judge Dive sat in the Care and Criminal jurisdictions, and was very involved with the establishment of the Youth Drug and Alcohol Court. Judge Dive was awarded the 2011 Prime Minister s Award for outstanding contribution to Drug and Alcohol endeavours Session 2 Kellie Britnell Program Manager for Outreach and Education at the Office of the esafety Commissioner.
