As an alternative to traditional juvenile courts, juvenile drug courts attempt to provide substance abuse treatment, sanctions, and incentives to rehabilitate nonviolent drug-involved youth, empower families to support them in this process, and prevent recidivism. The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) sponsored a multisite study of juvenile drug courts to examine the ability of these courts to reduce recidivism and improve youth’s social functioning, and to determine whether these programs use evidence-based practices in their treatment services. This bulletin provides an overview of the findings.

Child Custody and Domestic Violence: A Call for Safety and Accountability

Historically, the legal system has not responded adequately, if at all, to cases involving domestic violence In the past two decades, US courts and law enforcement agencies have increasingly acknowledged the seriousness of domestic violence and have developed responses to it Unfortunately, the legal system has been slower to recognize the impact of domestic violence on children This article highlights four key areas of case law in which the courts have begun, in varying degrees, to examine the effects of domestic violence on children: child custody and visitation, restraining orders, failure to protect a child from harm, and termination of parental rights A survey of appellate cases since 1990, though not representative of all cases, shows an ongoing need for mandatory judicial training on domestic violence and its effects on children, greater clarity about how to interpret relevant laws, changes in the laws to better serve children, and the renewal of national funding for legal aid programs Courts and law enforcement agencies in some locales have implemented innovative programs to improve their interventions with children exposed to domestic violence These programs include coordinated court responses, child development training for police officers, multidisciplinary team approaches, and supervised visitation centers However, few of these programs have been evaluated for overall effectiveness in improving outcomes for children Better evaluation is needed, as is ongoing funding for the replication of successful programs nationwide A companion article by Matthews in this journal issue examines federal laws and policies with regard to domestic violence and children, and reviews many of the state statutes on which the court decisions discussed here are based

Domestic violence law : a comprehensive overview of cases and sources

California is the only state that requires parents to mediate custody or visitation disputes involving their minor children.' Since the enactment of the mandatory mediation statute in California, the vast majority of child custody disputes are settled out of court in a mediation conference.2 While such mediation has lightened the load on family court calendars, the result has been less than favorable for many women-those

Mandatory Custody Mediation and Joint Custody Orders in California: The Danger for Victims of Domestic Violence

This article looks at the need for free professional interpreters in civil domestic violence cases in the United States. It argues that states or counties which do not provide this service are in fact denying victims of domestic violence access to the courts. 2 It also explores the possibility that domestic violence courts would be more able and likely than conventional civil courts working with domestic violence victims to provide qualified interpreters in noncriminal cases. This article also emphasizes the importance of certification and specialized training for all civil court translators who interpret for victims of domestic violence. Finally, it highlights the way in which advocates may frame the need for interpreters so that fiscal resources may be secured to effect these changes for all non-English speaking victims of domestic violence.
