Florida Drug Courts by Ray Grind - Book Report/Review Example

This book evaluates how popular the drug courts are in Florida, the impacts of therapeutic justice intervention on the lives of those enrolled, and the concept of recidivism in enrollees by involving the works of Lilley (2013), Shaffer (2010), and King and Pasquarella (2009).

It involved the formation of drug courts that conduct therapeutic justice to those offenders involved in drugs instead of incarceration through administering the short time assessment of risk and treatability, START program (King  & Pasquarella, 2009).

This program is directed to mental issues that inmates suffer and is founded on applying therapeutic jurisprudence and justice.  The program that lasts for 15months involves three phases after which the inmates eventually emerge drug-free and with a capability of being restored to the community.  This book provides undivided attention and is essential through the provision of a framework for change in individuals. It comes highly recommended especially to various judicial systems that need to conduct corrective measures to most drug offenders.
