Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the Midtown Community Court (CC) began operation in NYC in 1993, it posed a challenge to traditional assumptions about the role of American courts in dispensing justice &, in particular, about how they should relate to the "community." The Midtown experiment was a catalyst for innovation and encouraged the diffusion of the CC model to other jurisdictions with different settings and challenges. The Hartford, CT CC opened in 1998 &, as one of the first post-Midtown CC, represents a test of the transferability of the CC model to more "typical" Amer. settings. This report describes Hartford's adaptations of the model and outlines an evaluation plan for assessing its progress and impact.

Book excerpt: The rise of problem-solving courts in the American criminal justice system has paved a way for a collaborative, rehabilitative approach to addressing crime. Community courts have since emerged as a criminal justice response to enhance quality of life. By definition, a community court embraces a holistic approach by tending to the participant from all aspects of their life. This includes the collaboration of criminal justice actors, such as judges, prosecutors, defense attorneys, and law enforcement, with outside entities such as mental health professionals, social service providers, and community organizations. The process of community court embodies a very different approach from the traditional court system. While there are many successful aspects to community courts, research has shown a lack of focus on recidivism reductions within community court participants, as well as the use of inconsistent study methodology. This research examines the importance, efficacy, and impact of community courts through a program evaluation and gap analysis of an established community court. This research also addresses the key issues that are often the sources for the lack of community court research.This study found that when implemented correctly, the community court displays model adherence to the recommended community court principals as well as the policies and procedures as outline in the manual. Promising results were discovered, including the creation of a service provider room, the utilization of a validated risk and needs assessment tool, and the collaboration present between the community court team and the social service and treatment providers. The community court also displayed an of the needs of its participants with the service provider offerings they currently provide. Some challenges were also noted, including negative preliminary findings. Challenges found include a need for improved data collection procedures, an enhancement in ensuring that participants understand the program structure and continue to follow-up with case plan, and the development of a way to track and follow-up with community court participants. These findings offer an important look into the community court model and open the door for future research.

Download or read book Community Justice Centres written by Sarah Murray and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-12 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the phenomenon of Community Justice Centres and their potential to transform the justice landscape by tackling the underlying causes of crime. Marred by recidivism, addiction, family violence, overflowing courtrooms, crippling prison spending and extreme rates of incarceration, the criminal justice system is in crisis. Community Justice Centres seek to combat this by tackling the underlying causes of crime in a particular neighbourhood and working with local people to redesign the experience of justice and enhance the notion of community. A Community Justice Centre houses a court which works with an interdisciplinary team to address the causes of criminality such as drug addiction, cognitive impairment, mental illness, poverty, abuse and intergenerational trauma. The community thus becomes a key agent of change, partnering with the Centre to tackle local issues and improve safety and community cohesion. This book, based on research into this innovative justice model, examines case studies from around the world, the challenges presented by the model and the potential for bringing its learnings into the mainstream. This book will appeal to academics in law and criminology as well as psychology; it will also be of considerable interest to people working in the criminal justice system, including the police, government policy advisers, psychologists and social workers.

Download or read book Parenting Plan Evaluations written by Kathryn Kuehnle and published by OUP USA. This book was released on 2012 with total page 630 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When conducting parenting plan evaluations, mental health professionals need to be aware of a myriad of different factors. More so than in any other form of forensic evaluation, they must have an understanding of the most current findings in developmental research, behavioral psychology, attachment theory, and legal issues to substantiate their opinions. With a number of publications on child custody available, there is an essential need for a text focused on translating the research associated with the most important topics within the family court. This book addresses this gap in the literature by presenting an organized and in-depth analysis of the current research and offering specific recommendations for applying these findings to the evaluation process. Written by experts in the child custody arena, chapters cover issues associated with the most important and complex issues that arise in family court, such as attachment and overnight timesharing with very young children, dynamics between divorced parents and children's potential for resiliency, co-parenting children with chronic medical conditions and developmental disorders, domestic violence during separation and divorce, gay and lesbian co-parents, and relocation, among others. The scientific information provided in these chapters assists forensic mental health professionals to proffer empirically-based opinions, conclusions and recommendations. Parenting Plan Evaluations is a must-read for legal practitioners, family law judges and attorneys, and other professionals seeking to understand more about the science behind child custody evaluations.
