Description

Introduction Problem-solving courts or special therapeutic courts have proliferated in the last decade. They have emerged across a number of countries such as Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States. (1) Courts falling under the rubric of problem-solving courts include community courts, drug courts, and mental health courts. Though they vary by case type, they share a number of common elements including the application of judicial authority and the threat of criminal sanctions to compel a defendant's compliance with treatment or a psychosocial intervention over a period of time. Rooted in the principles of therapeutic jurisprudence, a philosophy concerned with producing therapeutic effects for individuals involved in the legal process, these courts link accused to treatment and then supervise this connection to promote treatment compliance. By participating in treatment, accused may forego criminal processing or sentencing or may be accorded a reduction in criminal sanctions. It is expected that treatment engagement will reduce criminal behaviours and the likelihood of future interactions with the criminal justice system. (2)
