| dc.description.notes | "Published in association with the Australian Institute of Judicial Administration."<br/ >General Overview: In this paper the author considers recent developments in specialist courts, including domestic violence courts, in Australia.<br/ ><br/ >Discussion: Specialist courts have become increasingly popular in recent years. They represent an attempt to address the context of a crime and to reduce crime by solving the problem that underlies the criminal behaviour. Strategies used in specialist courts include ongoing judicial supervision, integration of service provision, a direct engagement between the judicial officer and the defendant and a non-adversarial approach, usually following a guilty plea.<br/ ><br/ >The author discusses mental health courts, drug courts, community courts, Indigenous courts, drug courts and domestic violence courts. Domestic violence courts have been established in South Australia, Western Australia and Victoria. These courts tend to focus on holding the perpetrator accountable for his actions, rather than using the therapeutic style common in other specialist courts. There are few outcome evaluations of domestic violence courts and little is known about whether they reduce family violence.<br/ ><br/ >Conclusion: The author argues that the experiment with specialist courts should continue and outlines ways in which specialist courts could develop. | en |
