TY - JOUR PY - 2017 TI - Salt Lake County Third District Adult Felony Drug Court: Screening Procedures, Legislative Funding, and the Advancement of Therapeutic Jurisprudence JF - Hinckley Journal of Politics; Vol 10 (2009) KW - N2 - Drug courts face obstacles on multiple levels. Three issues facing the Salt Lake County Third District Adult Felony Drug Court are examined: screening procedures, funding needs, and therapeutic jurisprudence. Sources used include a literature review of relevant issues and key informant interviews with selected individuals associated with the adult felony drug court program in the Salt Lake County Third District. Findings indicate that the Salt Lake County Third District Adult Felony Drug Court will likely benefit from 1) a screening emphasis on offenders with high criminogenic risks and high psychosocial needs, 2) continued funding from the State of Utah Legislature, and 3) a societal and institutional paradigm shift away from stigmatization regarding substance abuse and towards therapeutic jurisprudence.
