- According to the 2012 Bureau of Justice Statistics' Census of Problem-Solving Courts, there were 3,052 problem-solving courts in the United States. The two most common types were drug courts and mental health courts. Problem-solving courts were created to address underlying problems that result in criminal behavior. These courts are diversionary, meaning that participants agree to follow guidelines of the court to avoid prosecution, incarceration, or other typical criminal justice outcomes. -- Page [1].
