Description: Society, Science, and Problem-Solving Courts by Monica K. Miller, Mia A. Holbrook, Logan A. Yelderman, Kylie Kulak Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Problem-solving courts are special courts that do not simply punish offenders, but use other justice principlesDLlike therapeutic jurisprudence and restorative justiceDLand psychology principlesDLlike anticipated emotion, operant conditioning, and social supportDLto address underlying social issues that contributed to the crime. The U.S. has numerous types of problem-solving courts, such as drug courts, mental health courts, and homelessness courts. Other countriesdo not have such courts, have altered versions, or have courts for other issues, like aboriginal courts. Comparison of these courts worldwide shows that many societies address their social issues throughcourts in dramatically different ways than do problem-solving courts in the U.S. Society, Science, and Problem-Solving Courts takes a broad social science approach to explain what societal factors brought about development of the wide variety of problem-solving courts, and what factors prevent such development or make problem-solving courts unnecessary. The book also investigates the role of science and technology in the development, enforcement, and evaluationof problem-solving courts. It is this combination of society and science that makes problem-solving courts possible. Author Biography Monica K.
