Summary "Using up-to-date case examples, Herschel Prins examines the relationship between abnormality and criminal behaviour, the extent to which this relationship is used or misused in the criminal courts, and the various facilities that are currently available for the management/incarceration of offenders/patients." "Unique in its multidisciplinary approach, Offenders, Deviants or Patients? will be invaluable to all those who come into contact with serious offenders, as well as to those studying crime and criminal behaviour."--BOOK JACKET
