The first type of problem-solving court was the drug court, established in Miami-Dade County, Florida, in 1989. These courts focus on addressing the underlying issues of criminal behavior, particularly substance abuse, by offering treatment and rehabilitation instead of traditional punitive measures. Drug courts aim to reduce recidivism and improve public safety through a collaborative approach involving judges, treatment providers, and social services. Since then, various specialized courts, such as mental health courts and veterans courts, have emerged.
