Summary |
"In recent years there has been growing concern and controversy surrounding the care and treatment of mentally disordered offenders. Consequently, there have been a series of legislative and policy developments during the last decade, which have led to changes in attitude and the way that such offender-patients are treated. Such changes have focused primarily upon the provision of timely therapeutic intervention and diversion from the criminal justice system."--BOOK JACKET. "Care or Custody? Mentally Disordered Offenders in the Criminal Justice System considers these issues in depth. It is a comprehensive and scholarly text which identifies and explores some of the difficulties that occur when mentally disordered offenders come into contact with the criminal justice system."--BOOK JACKET |
