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 Dark Side of Reform: Exploring the Impact of Public Policy on
Racial Equity contains nine chapters on the development of social
policies with the potential to advance racial equity. In addition
to studying these policies and their implications, the chapters in
this volume demonstrate how lessons from the past can be used to
inform the direction of current discussions. At the heart of these
conversations are concerns about whether Black people, in
particular, will receive the full benefit of transformative laws
that may emerge in the coming years. The volume also offers
recommendations on implementing policies that address the unique
concerns of structurally disadvantaged communities with particular
emphasis on Black and Latinx people.
