Society, Science, and Problem-Solving Courts takes a broad social science approach to explain what societal factors brought about development of the wide variety of problem-solving courts, and what factors prevent such development or make problem-solving courts unnecessary. The book also investigates the role of science and technology in the development, enforcement, and evaluation of problem-solving courts. It is this combination of society and science that makes problem-solving courts possible.
Monica K. Miller joined the University of Nevada, Reno in 2004 after receiving her J.D. and PhD from the University of Nebraska system. Her interests involve the application of psychological theories and justice principles to laws, policies, and court procedures. Specifically, she is interested in social cognitive biases (i.e., gender and religion-based prejudice) and individual differences in moral and legal decisions (e.g., jury decisions); how the law regulates the family; how community sentiment and science relate to law; how problem-solving courts address social issues; and the well-being of those who interact with the legal system (including the use of therapy dogs). Mia A. Holbrook joined the University of Nevada, Reno in 2019 after receiving her PhD in Criminal Justice and Criminology from Washington State University. Dr. Holbrook's research interests and expertise lie in evidence-based practices and model fidelity; program and policy evaluation; equitable practices in the criminal justice system; problem-solving and specialty courts; organizational trust & collaboration; perceptions & attitudes; and instrument validation. Logan A. Yelderman earned his BA in Psychology and Communication Specialist in 2011 from Baylor University and his PhD in Social Psychology in 2016 from the University of Nevada, Reno.

Kylie Kulak earned her BA in Psychology at Fresno State University in 2020, her MS in Psychology at Arizona State University in 2022, and is currently a Social Psychology doctoral student at the University of Nevada, Reno.
