Taking Problem Solving Courts to Scale is a superbly assembled deep
dive into a variety of problem-solving court models three decades
after the origin of these innovative, yet at times challenging,
correctional models. Editors (and authors) Ahlin and Douds bring
together some of the most prolific scholars in this area to
consider what problems these courts "solve," how, and in what ways
they both help and possibly hinder legal and social processes. Of
particular note is the chapter on Tribal Courts that beautifully
considers the role of cultural traditions within these justice
systems. This volume is a must read for students or scholars
interested in understanding the complex landscape of these courts,
the organizational actors within them, and the clients and
communities they serve.
