Problem-solving courts are special courts that do not simply punish offenders, but use other justice principles—like therapeutic jurisprudence and restorative justice—and psychology principles—like anticipated emotion, operant conditioning, and social support—to address underlying social issues that contributed to the crime. The U.S. has numerous types of problem-solving courts, such as drug courts, mental health courts, and homelessness courts. Other countries do not have such courts, have altered versions, or have courts for other issues, like aboriginal courts. Comparison of these courts worldwide shows that many societies address their social issues through courts in dramatically different ways than do problem-solving courts in the U.S. Society, Science, and Problem-Solving Courts takes a broad social science approach to explain what societal factors brought about development of the wide variety of problem-solving courts, and what factors prevent such development or make problem-solving courts unnecessary. The book also investigates the role of science and technology in the development, enforcement, and evaluation of problem-solving courts. It is this combination of society and science that makes problem-solving courts possible.

Specifically, she is interested in social cognitive biases (i.e., gender and religion-based prejudice) and individual differences in moral and legal decisions (e.g., jury decisions); how the law regulates the family; how community sentiment and science relate to law; how problem-solving courts address social issues; and the well-being of those who interact with the legal system (including the use of therapy dogs).Mia A.
