Para la TJ el concepto de “ley” incluye tanto las normas y procedimientos jurídicos como también las prácticas y técnicas desarrolladas por los operadores que intervienen en la Justicia (jueces, abogados, terapeutas y otros). Los ámbitos más explorados de intervención mediante TJ son los correspondientes a los denominados en el ámbito anglosajón como “tribunales especiales de resolución de problemas”, entre los que se encuentran los tribunales para el tratamiento de las adicciones y los dirigidos a salud mental. En unión a ello, en la actualidad se está intentando desarrollar la TJ, tanto en Estados Unidos como internacionalmente, también en el marco de la justicia penal ordinaria (más allá de los ámbitos originarios de drogas y salud mental). Esta monografía ofrece una guía para la aplicación de la TJ y diversas sugerencias para mejorar su utilidad.2016text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=5835512(Revista) ISSN 1696-9219Revista Española de Investigación Criminológica: REIC, ISSN 1696-9219, Nº. 14, 2016engLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
