Abstract

This study challenges the conventional approach to the appropriate indicators of individual success in community courts (CCs) by exploring the different meanings that CC professionals ascribe to the term “success.” CCs conduct a non-adversarial process in which team members collaborate to provide a comprehensive rehabilitative intervention for recidivist participants. We conducted fifty-three in-depth interviews with CC personnel between 2016 and 2020. According to the interviewees, standard evaluation measures such as program completion, reduced recidivism, and systemic reduction of incarceration are necessary for evaluating these courts. Yet individual success is relative, subjective, multidimensional, and must be understood as a continuum. Therefore, it should also be measured by looking at significant processes of change that participants have undergone in various aspects of their lives. Study findings can be translated into measurable well-being indicators, moving the “what works” discourse forward to include more nuanced and diverse manifestations of success in studies evaluating specialized courts.

成功的许多阴影:社区法院中个人成功的自下而上指标
本研究通过探索社区法院专业人士赋予“成功”一词的不同含义,挑战了传统方法对社区法院个人成功的适当指标。康复中心采取一种非对抗性的过程,在这个过程中,团队成员相互合作,为累犯参与者提供全面的康复干预。2016年至2020年,我们对CC人员进行了53次深度访谈。根据受访者的说法,评估这些法院需要标准的评估措施,如项目完成情况、减少累犯和系统地减少监禁。然而,个人的成功是相对的、主观的、多维的,必须被理解为一个连续体。因此,它也应该通过观察参与者在其生活的各个方面所经历的重大变化过程来衡量。研究结果可以转化为可测量的幸福指标,推动“什么有效”的话语向前发展,在评估专门法院的研究中包括更细微和多样化的成功表现。
