Episode Description
We all know that bad things are happening here and all around the world, but there are also some good things happening as well One of those good things is the movement all around the country to establish Collaborative Courts. In these courts, teams of legal, social and medical professionals are successfully addressing the underlying reasons why people commit crimes in the first place, and reducing that behavior. So join our guest, Judge Mary Kreber, who is the presiding judge of the Collaborative Courts in Orange County, California, as she discusses this revolutionary and successful system. You will be uplifted to know that people are being held responsible for their actions, but also being escorted into more productive and crime free lives. Not only does that make us all safer and result in fewer crime victims, it also reduces the costs to the taxpayer. So tune in, and you will become more optimistic about our future.
