Abstract: The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) proposes to implement a Census of Problem-Solving Courts (CPSC). Problem-solving courts target defendants who have ongoing social and/or psychological conditions that underlie their repeated contact with the criminal justice system. Most of the existing information about problemsolving courts (PSC) consists of court evaluations or outcome analyses. No prior census of these courts has been conducted to date despite the substantial proliferation of such courts during the past thirty years. Hence, the CPSC will allow BJS to provide national level information on problem-solving courts and case processing statistics and it will also create a sampling frame of PSCs thereby enabling BJS to conduct future sample-based research on PSCs. The CPSC is designed to provide BJS and other interested stakeholders with the first systematic empirical information on problem-solving courts. A goal of the census is to obtain information on problem-solving court operations, administration, and to generate accurate and reliable statistics on adult offenders who enter problem- PO 00000 Frm 00073 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 68789 solving court programs. The CPSC will collect information on the following categories: a. Court Operations: i. Does the court operate within the judiciary, have a dedicated judicial officer, or have a dedicated docket/ calendar? ii. Provide the number of problemsolving courts by type (e.g., mental health, drug, etc.) iii. Determine PSCs level of government operations (e.g., local, state, etc.), court jurisdiction (e.g., limited, general, other) and intake of felony, misdemeanor, or status offenses b. Funding: Types and prevalence of PSC funding (e.g., local government budget, state budget, etc.) c. Commonly Used Services: i. Count the types and prevalence of offender/victim services (e.g., anger management), counseling or treatment services (e.g., outpatient mental health treatment), and general supportive services (e.g., life skills) d. Participant participation: i. Participant inclusionary and exclusionary factors, ii. Participant point of entry (e.g. preplea, post-plea/pre-sentence, etc.) e. Capacity and Enrollment: i. Total number of active participants PSC can manage at any one time ii. Current number of active participants f. Data Collection Practices: i. Use of automated case management systems ii. PSCs’ ability to query information g. PSC Participant information: i. Percentage of program participants by age, gender, racial classification, ii. Housing status iii. Employment status h. PSC information for calendar year 2011 only: i. Number of people referred and admitted to PSCs, ii. PSCs’ average participant attendance to: Scheduled judicial, community supervision meetings, treatment sessions, and drug tests iii. Number of participants exiting program, iv. Number of participants by gender, race, and age. Additionally, the information collected through this census will support development of a sampling framework to examine case processing information and case dispositions of adults in problem-solving courts. Information will be collected for the 2011 calendar year. 5.
