Section I. Discussion
The emergence of drug courts illustrates how the judiciary is responding both to increases in caseload and changes in the types of cases being brought to court. In the mid-1980s, drug caseloads increased dramatically in courts throughout the country.
Faced with a rapidly increasing caseload of types of cases that did not seem to fit the traditional criminal court model, courts began to experiment with new ways of processing cases by creating drug courts. Rather than viewing these defendants as criminals, they saw them as persons with an addiction problem. Drug courts emphasize treatment.

1. Based on what you've read in the textbook, how does the Criminal Justice Process benefit from Prosecutors having autonomy and discretion?
2. What are the dangers of Prosecutors having autonomy and broad discretion?
