| Abstract: | Justice system includes law enforcement agencies, prosecutors and defenders, courts, jails, and pretrial services and is the gateway to justice in the United States. Interestingly, video conference and problem-solving courts were most widely reported among mid-size (100,001-250,000) jurisdictions rather than among the smallest or largest jurisdictions. Overall, these results indicate that trial, defense, and court practices tended to be implemented together while pretrial and jail practices tended to be implemented together, with only a few individual practices being associated with both factors (as indicated by factor loadings > .3 on both factors, a condition known as cross-loading). Jails were also somewhat likely to report using jail population management tools such as dashboards (33 percent) or to have jail population coordinators or teams (31 percent).
