Produktbeschreibung

It has long been known that the pathway through the criminal justice system for those with mental health needs is fraught with difficulty. This interdisciplinary collection explores key issues in mental health, crime and criminal justice, including: offenders' rights; intervention designs; desistance; health-informed approaches to offending and the medical needs of offenders; psychological jurisprudence, and; collaborative and multi-agency practice.

This volume draws on the knowledge of professionals and academics working in this field internationally, as well as the experience of service users. It offers a solution-focused response to these issues, and promotes both equality and quality of experience for service users. It will be essential reading for practitioners, scholars and students with an interest in forensic mental health and criminal justice.

Rezensionen

"Mental Health, Crime and Criminal Justice (Winstone, 2016) is a refreshingly candid look at the challenges related to persons with mental illness(es). ... this book is exceptionally well-edited; topics and voices cohere especially well for an edited volume. ... the book remains accessible to a wider audience, with descriptions of some seemingly unfamiliar ideas. Additionally, the book, while coming out of the United Kingdom, discusses ideas in a way that renders them applicable to other national contexts as well." (Kayla G. Jachimowski, Criminal Law and Criminal Justice Books, clcjbooks.rutgers.edu, January, 2017)
