Abstract
A growing number of Wisconsin counties have developed new responses to problems in their justice systems and communities. Although initiatives vary from place to place, the most promising share a commitment to collaborative decision making, in which local shareholders work together to determine priorities and strategies to improve their communities. In the summer of 2006 the author studied collaborative efforts in seven Wisconsin counties and tracked their progress one year later. The data suggest certain conditions must exist for a community to adopt and sustain collaborative decision making, and that expanding local decision making requires state resources and expertise. This support is lacking in Wisconsin, except from the judicial branch. Without it the successes of several of Wisconsin counties may not be widely shared.
