Legal Experience

Said cases should be treated fairly, but equality of outcome is not the goal.

Responding to whether all race, gender, and economic groups are treated equally in the county court system, Behrens wrote: “If you mean fairly, they were treated so by me when I was judge. Equality of outcome in each case is not the goal. The DA recommends punishment, including fine & jail time or probation & conditions of probation like classes, some required by law, and community service based on the particular facts.”

Judicial Philosophy

Said Veterans Treatment Court is useful for an underserved group, including some people with service-related mental health issues.

In a League of Women Voters questionnaire response to “Which specialty courts do you think are most successful, and what new ones would you support?”, Behrens wrote: “If you mean reducing recidivism, I would need stats to draw such conclusions. DWI/drug courts provide more intense supervision and targeted counseling to help address the addictions/dependencies of defendants. Esperanza Court seeks to reduce prostitution, by addressing addictions, helping defendants gain self esteem, secure employment, and get on their feet. Veterans Treatment Court is a useful program that helps an under-served group, some of whom have service related mental health issues.”

Said that recidivism statistics are needed to determine which specialty courts are successful.
