This book presents findings from a process evaluation carried out
at a problem-solving court located in England: Manchester Review
Court. Unlike the widely documented successes of similar
international models, there is no detail of Manchester Review Court
in the accessible literature, not in any policy document, nor is
there a court handbook or website outlining objectives and expected
practice. In adopting the seminal 'wine' and 'bottle' analytical
framework propounded by therapeutic jurisprudence scholars, and by
carrying out a detailed comparative analysis comparing the court to
successful international problem-solving courts, the original
empirical data brings clarity to an overlooked area. A fidelity
analysis is also offered for the forerunning English and Welsh drug
courts, which were established during the early 2000s, but then
shortly fell by the wayside without satisfactory explanation for
why. Findings from the book shed new light on the causes of the
English and Welsh drug court downfalls pending recent calls to roll
out a fresh suite of problem-solving courts. In light of the
international evidence base and national struggles in the field,
the book proposes a renewed, UK-specific, fidelity matrix to forge
the impetus for new practice in this area, whilst accounting for
past failures and acknowledging current issues. Therefore, this
book not only breaks new ground by advancing knowledge of a
significantly uncharted area but provides important inroads for
helping policymakers with their strategies in tackling recidivism,
addiction, victimisation, and austerity, as widespread social and
human issues currently facing both Manchester and the UK more
broadly. Presenting significant advancements in theory, policy, and
practice at both national and international scale, the book will be
a valuable resource for academics and practitioners working in the
fields of Therapeutic Justice, Criminal Law, Criminology, Criminal
Justice, and Socio-Legal Studies.
