‘You don’t think you’re important enough to speak to a Sheriff. Cos you open your mouth maybe in court and … they would just go ‘silence’ (McIvor 2009, p.41 quoted offenders response)
He’ll listen to your point of view and there’s not many Sheriffs that will. He looks through the addiction, I think, and sees the person who is there.’ (McIvor 2009, p.41 quoted offenders response)
‘what’s good about it is because I’m getting treated now like a human being and an equal.’ (McIvor 2009, p.43 quoted offenders response)

Mair & Millings 2011 – Offenders’ responses
At the mainstream court:‘I know [nothing] of what’s happening, sometimes I don’t even speak and like they’ve done it all and I’m on my way and still don’t know what’s happened’ (Mair & Millings 2011, p.78)
At the problem-solving court:‘They pay more attention and they seem interested in what you say, even the bizzies here treat you with respect’ (Mair & Millings 2011, p.77)
