Since 2000 problem-solving courts have experienced continued growth, to name
a few problem-solving courts such as drug courts, domestic violence court, and mental health courts
(Nugent-Borakove&Worrall,2008).
In some problem-solving courts, the prosecution and defense teams collaborate extensively rather than competing with one another
(National Institute of Justice, n.d.)
. The problem-solving court I choose is domestic violence court. Cases of domestic abuse involving spouses and other intimate partners frequently involve complicated procedures that the criminal justice system must carefully address. Domestic violence has a responsibility to the victim only. I believe they use proper use
of the person constitutional rights. In my opinion I think they do and don’t benefit from this because yes, they are trying to help the victim but the person they are accusing off may only get put into a program. Even though they get funded through the national institution. Having problem solving court it helps with other courts that have a big case load because if cases that are domestic violence come to their court, then it would be transferred problem solving court since they deal with those types of cases.
