When Courts Become the Safety Net: Are We Failing Our Communities? | TCF Sidebar

Episode 19

More and more, it feels like the courtroom has become the last safety net for social problems that should have been handled long before someone is charged with a crime. As community resources shrink and local support systems disappear, courts, jails, and probation departments are left to pick up the pieces.

In this Sidebar discussion, we explore why so many social issues now land in the justice system, how a weakening community safety net contributes to rising caseloads, and whether the courts are being asked to do too much - acting as judge, counselor, and social worker all at once.
