New Directions in the Courts' Response to Drug and Alcohol Related Legal Problems: Interdisciplinary Collaboration
Collaboration in addressing offending-related substance use problems can be considered, amongst other things, in the sense of collaboration between professionals from multiple disciplines and as collaboration with offenders with substance use problems to address their problems. Collaboration between professionals recognizes that such offenders commonly have interrelated problems in areas such as health, housing, relationships and employment and that they need to be addressed to promote rehabilitation. Collaboration with offenders recognizes the importance of autonomy and that positive behavioral change requires offenders to undergo internal as well as external change processes. Where possible, courts and rehabilitation professionals should support these processes. Hitherto collaboration has been largely foreign to court processes. However, consistent with the judicial function, judges and magistrates can play an important role by using these forms of collaboration in appropriate cases to promote the rehabilitation of offenders with substance use problems.
Therapeutic Jurisprudence’s Challenge to the Judiciary
Therapeutic jurisprudence offers judges techniques and principles that promote the attainment of therapeutic outcomes such as the resolution of underlying issues associated with legal problems. These techniques and principles also equip judges to perform their daily technical functions concerning the conduct of the court and the gathering and interpretation of evidence and delivery of judgment more effectively. Misconceptions concerning the nature and application of therapeutic jurisprudence have hindered the wider adoption of therapeutic jurisprudence by the judiciary. Through the exploration of therapeutic jurisprudence and the sharing of the experience of using therapeutic jurisprudence techniques, judges have the ability to contribute to the development of therapeutic jurisprudence and to best practice in judging.
