problem-solving courts
Problem-solving courts are specialized judicial programs designed to address the underlying issues that contribute to criminal behavior, such as substance abuse or mental health problems. These courts focus on rehabilitation rather than punishment, offering participants access to treatment and support services.
Participants in problem-solving courts often undergo regular monitoring and must meet specific requirements, such as attending counseling sessions or completing community service. The goal is to reduce recidivism and help individuals reintegrate into society as productive members, ultimately benefiting both the participants and the community as a whole.
