Description

This book explores the controversial relationship between mental health and offending, examining how offenders with mental health problems are cared for, coerced, and controlled by the criminal justice and mental health systems. It provides a criminological approach to forensic mental health, discussing the complexities of this relationship and the changing policy responses since the mid-1990s. The book covers various perspectives on mental health and offending, including the politics, rights, responsibilities, risks, and challenges involved in treatment and rehabilitation. It also addresses staffing, funding, and methodological challenges in the field. An essential read for students and practitioners in mental health, criminal justice, sociology, social work, nursing, and public policy.
