ANNOTATION: “With funding from the State Justice Institute, the Center for Court Innovation sought to produce an inclusive set of problem-solving performance indicators. The investigation focused primarily on specialized “problem-solving courts,” with specific attention paid to drug, mental health, domestic violence, and community courts. However, the ultimate purpose was to assist all court managers, including those who oversee conventional courts, in tracking the extent to which their courts incorporate a problem-solving focus” (p. 1). Seven chapters follow an executive summary: introduction; methodology; findings from the literature on problem-solving courts; the view from the ground—findings from focus groups and interviews with experts in problem-solving justice; universal performance indicators for problem-solving courts; four models of problem solving—performance indicators for drug courts, mental health courts, domestic violence courts, and community courts; and universal performance indicators for problem-solving in traditional courts.
