In the more than 30 years since the drug court model transformed
the criminal justice landscape, problem-solving courts have
expanded their reach beyond criminogenic needs. They now address
demographic similarities (e.g., veterans courts, tribal wellness
courts, community courts) and offense characteristics (e.g.,
prostitution courts, sex offender courts). The rapid expansion of
problem-solving courts to meet many different individuals suggests
this template is appropriate and adaptable to just about any
categorical characteristic. This book calls on problem-solving
court experts to offer a fresh perspective on the evolving
discourse on these courts' proliferation. Contributors describe
diverse applications of the problem-solving court model while
critically appraising these niche courts' evidence. This book
provides a comprehensive account to date of how problem-solving
courts are continuing to revolutionize justice. This collective
body of work strengthens our understanding of their placement in
the throes of a call for meaningful criminal justice reform.Taking
Problem-Solving Courts to Scale is presented in three sections to
address specialty courts focused on criminogenic needs, individual
characteristics, and offense characteristics. At the outset of each
section, the editors describe the courts' purpose falling under
these broad categories and highlight key elements from the chapters
falling within.

The Veterans Treatment Court Movement provides a comprehensive,
empirical analysis of the burgeoning veteran's court movement from
genesis through to operation, and concluding with comments on its
societal relevance. Beginning with the unlikely convergence of
therapeutic jurisprudence with the oft-misunderstood warrior ethos
that undergirds the entire movement, the text examines every
component of veterans courts, weighing the cultural, legal, and
practical strengths and limitations of these programs. Each chapter
assesses key components of the court, including the participants,
law enforcement, judges, prosecution, defense counsel, court
administration, data management, the Veterans Justice Outreach
Officer (VJO), probation, mentors, and the community. The book
concludes with recommendations on how these courts can further
integrate with communities, maximize efficiency, and improve. The
book shows how veterans courts seek to serve veterans' legal,
social, and psychological needs, and how they serve more than just
offending veterans by allowing law-abiding veterans, many of whom
suffered greatly when they transitioned out of military service, to
exorcize their own demons and integrate their experiences into a
socially recognized system of care. Incorporating program
evaluation with sociological considerations, this monograph offers
a comprehensive, considered examination of how - and why - these
courts operate, and provides a foundation for future development.
The volume provides essential background for scholars studying law
and the criminal courts, as well as policymakers, judges,
academics, students, and practitioners concerned with effective
jurisprudence.
Commonsense Choices from Uncommon Voices: Rethinking America's
Correctional Policies brings together the experiences of men who
served time in prison with contemporary research on correctional
policy. This work combines a voyeuristic desire to observe "evil"
and the consequences of the system of punishment, with detached
consideration of what those stories can tell us about who we are as
a nation and how we treat those who have betrayed the social trust.
The authors simultaneously examine first-person accounts of inmate
experiences with the correctional system and what actually, works,
in operation, to promote the rehabilitative and restorative models
of justice so many of our policymakers espouse. Each chapter opens
with a vignette, a recollection of an event or series of events,
about an inmate's experience during the various phases of
correctional processing. These first-hand accounts have been
collected from men who served time in prison. These men's stories
are examined in their own right, then extrapolated to a broader
analysis of the underlying social and policy issues to which that
vignette speaks. All chapters follow the same structure: (a)
opening vignette about a former inmate; (b) analysis, which
includes (i) identification of the underlying issue; (ii)
reflection; and (iii) extrapolation to a larger policy issue; and
(c) recommendations from the field for enacting practice and
crafting policy more responsive to the identified issue.
