Description

The mentally disordered criminal is a public nightmare, and the management of these offenders can be driven as much by political and economic concerns as by scientific evidence and professional judgement within the fields of mental health and correction services. The topic is of increasing importance because of the growth of community psychiatry and the growing community programmes for offenders, as well as the pressures on institutions which deal with offenders and care for the mentally disordered or disabled. This volume provides a critical and focused review of knowledge and best practice in the field for mental health and correction professionals, and for those concerned with policy and management of services for these offenders. The authors, experts who have themselves developed and evaluated treatment programmes, present the evidence of effectiveness and the important aspects of programme implementation, staffing and costs.
