Answer to Question 1

Drug courts were one of the first specialized courts and they emphasized treatment. They used a nonadversarial approach and developed partnerships among the drug courts, public agencies, and community-based organizations.

Domestic violence courts focus on tailoring interventions to the needs of victims, closely monitor the offender, and even enlist community participation.

Community courts are more general and attempt to harness the power of the justice system to address local problems by building relationships with residents, merchants, and churches.

Gun courts were established to take guns more seriously, ensure tougher sentences, and minimize delays in the court system.

Sex offense courts allow all of those in the courtroom work group to have specialized knowledge concerning the seriousness of these offenses and have better coordination between the court, the treatment agencies, and the victim.
