A key component of drug courts is the use of graduated sanctions and rewards to encourage compliance; however, little is known about how such systems are actually implemented. The current paper documents the specific behaviors that are sanctioned and rewarded and the sanctions and rewards used, perceptions of the efficacy of sanctions, the level of standardization in the application of sanctions and rewards, participants' understanding of the sanctioning system, and the decision-making process regarding sanctioning in five judicial circuits in Florida. Using qualitative data gathered from interviews with 86 key stakeholders and analyzed using NUD*IST software, we conducted comparisons between drug courts and traditional courts, as well as by respondent role (staff vs. offender). Our mai...

[...] judges, state's attorneys, and public defenders who specialize in drug cases become more proficient and efficient in all aspects of case processing; they improve at screening cases, using case information, presenting motions, submitting guilty pleas, and filing case dispositions (Belenko, Fagan, & Dumanovsky, 1994; Davis, Smith, & Lurigio, 1994). The first jurisdiction to implement a drug court was New York City; it created the court in 1974 in response to the enforcement of the draconian Rockefeller Drug Laws, which overwhelmed the state's criminal justice system with an unrelenting spate of drug cases throughout the 1970s (Belenko & Dumanovsky, 1993).

In recent years, the number of drug courts has proliferated throughout the country. One widely held belief is that the central figure in a drug court is the judge. While the judge may be the central actor in the courtroom, what is not clear is whether the drug court judge is the most central actor in the actual disposition of cases. This article presents the findings of a research project that asked actors participating in staffing about the centrality of the drug court judge. I found that while the drug court judge is a central actor, the most central actor in the drug court case disposition process is likely determined by management tasks and responsibility levels assigned to actors participating in the process.

This article focuses on a court innovation for criminally involved people who are afflicted with serious mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or major depression. It describes a recently developed strategy for dealing with the challenges of working with mentally ill individuals during the pre- and post-adjudication stages of the criminal justice process: mental health court (MHC). The article also discusses the historical and legal underpinnings of these courts, their growth, and the defining elements and operations of the earliest MHCs, which are best viewed as evolving models of practice. Finally, the article reviews studies of MHC operations and effectiveness and suggests future directions for MHCs.

State lawmakers continue to have hearings on a proposed $3.9 billion general revenue budget with little indication of where they may part ways with Gov. Joe Manchin on spending, although the Governor's Office has met some early resistance to his proposal to make the scholarships a forgivable loan program. Manchin also spent a significant amount of his address talking about combating the state's drug problem, outlining plans to expand drug courts and to hire additional law enforcement officers to investigate drug crimes.
