Crucial Justice Courts are specialized courts that deal with specific types of offenders. The ones that will be covered here are juvenile courts, family courts, and drug courts. These courts keep these specific types of cases out of the general courts. Their goal is to try to heal the offender from what is driving them to offend instead of simply locking them away. They are also referred to second chance courts. These courts collaborate with social services and law enforcement to pay particular attention to the offender's problems (Kinsella, 2004). The aim of specialized courts is to reduce recidivism and treat offenders, setting them on the road to recovery (Kinsella, 2004). Not only can they help the offender, but they also provide some relief to the overcrowded general justice system, provide cost savings for the public, and provide specialization to particular court cases (Legomsky, 1990). There are many positive aspects to having specialized courts. Remedial justice courts provide an informal environment compared to general courts. By holding informal hearings he hopes to appear compassionate towards the individual's needs (Paulsen, 1966). The mission of these courts is to focus on what is in the best interest of the person who needs the help they can provide (Yermish, 2009). Courts can use the law to order treatment for the offender (Davis, 2003). Special courts can arrange treatment when social services have been unable to do so, thus making the court the last resort in attempting to get help for the offender (Davis, 2003). Not only do they serve to eliminate some of the overcrowding in the general courts; they prevent personal problems from being exposed in the general courts (Davis, 2003). The issues on the other side of the specialized courts are equally numerous. Public opposition to special courts is that they are not seen as real courts and do not believe that the offender receives the punishment he deserves or that the matters involved are treated fairly (Legomsky, 1990). In specialized courts the defendant must plead guilty in order to receive treatment services; this takes away his lawyer's right to defend him (Yermish, 2009). When an offender is placed in a treatment program, a non-offender is placed at the back of the line to receive the same treatment, the court has the option of moving the offender to the front of the line (Davis, 2003).
