Assessment Procedures

This chapter focuses on the clinical interventions most commonly delivered in problem-solving courts. The chapter begins with a discussion of the Risk-Needs-Responsivity Model, which provides a foundational context for the interventions used in problem-solving courts and highlights the importance of targeting offender needs—criminogenic needs—related to key outcomes (e.g., reduced recidivism, reduced relapse to drug use). The authors then discuss the various screening and risk assessment procedures used to admit offenders to problem-solving courts, the clinical interventions used in problem-solving courts (e.g., cognitive-behavioral interventions, 12-step programs, therapeutic communities, case management, trauma-informed care), and the use of evidence-based practices in problem-solving courts. The authors note the role of problem-solving courts as a watchdog for service provision and conclude with a section discussing “next steps” for expanding evidence-based interventions in problem-solving courts.

The Impact

Problem solving courts have increasingly been adopted by jurisdictions around the country as an alternative to traditional criminal court models of justice. Veterans treatment courts (VTCs) are a type of problem-solving court being established all over the country in response to an increased number of justice-involved veterans with the return of military personnel from the Wars in the Middle East. Despite their rapid expansion, there is a dearth of research evaluating the impact of VTCs on recidivism. The current study conducted an impact evaluation regarding recidivism among participants of a large urban VTC program. Findings from descriptive and multivariate analysis reveal positive results for VTC participants, especially graduates, in comparison with the control group. Implications are discussed in context of three areas: (a) current criminal justice policy and practice implications for VTCs, (b) findings from research on other more established problem-solving courts (i.e., drug courts), and (c) research–practitioner partnerships.
