Name one reason as to why Veteran’s Courts are successful?
What will be an ideal response?
One reason is the extensive use of other military veterans as mentors to offenders before the court. This develops a sense of “someone cares” and camaraderie with the volunteer, one result of which is that veterans in veteran’s courts keep about 93% of their clinical appointments versus about 35% at general treatment clinics for offenders (Cartwright, 2011). The close supervision that characterizes all problem-solving courts may be particularly suited to military veterans who are used to regimentation and close supervision.
