How many people would AOT cover?
The most accurate indicator is experiences from other states – and New York has the best documented experience with AOT. As of March 2005, 3,908 individuals received treatment orders under Kendra’s Law. An average of 62 individuals per month, or 747 individuals per year, have been ordered to maintain treatment under the program. Adjusting for population, New Jersey should have approximately 337 orders per year.
