The Delaware judiciary announced Thursday that the state’s problem-solving courts will prioritize high-risk defendants and focus on long-term recovery, as leaders adopt a set of best practices for programs across the state.
The new standards, unveiled in a 70-page report by the Criminal Justice Council of the Judiciary, established minimum requirements for all of Delaware’s drug, DUI, mental health and veterans courts, which aim to provide specialized treatment and reduce the risk of recidivism among certain populations of offenders.
