Will They Do it Again? (eBook, PDF)

Risk Assessment and Management in Criminal Justice and Psychiatry

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

How justified is concern over the perceived risks posed to society by the mentally ill? "Will They Do It Again?" considers the issue of public protection within a broad context of risk in society generally and argues that public fear over the danger posed by the mentally ill is at odds with the evidence. The author examines such cases where management of the mentally ill has failed and sets out suggestions for improvements in practice. This book presents an unbiased picture of the issue and will prove invaluable to practitioners in criminal justice and psychiatry.
