How do drug courts operate and what are some common features of these courts?
What will be an ideal response?
Drug courts divert offenders into treatment programs and often suspend sentencing in exchange for successful completion of the program. They tend to be non-adversarial, have ongoing judicial interaction, and maintain partnerships with community agencies. From a drug treatment perspective they build strong partnerships with treatment programs and providers that closely monitor and evaluate the offender's use of drugs and alcohol.
