First published in 1997, this volume's purpose is to understand and
clarify the nature of implicit theories currently held about the
mentally disordered offender by respondents who represent a range
of agencies: the general lay population, Criminal Justice, Mental
Health and Social Services. The significance of this research rests
on the premise that a greater understanding of professional and lay
perspectives towards the mentally ill offender will help elucidate
conflicting assumptions between agencies which, by their very
nature, may be seriously disrupting the effective implementation of
a number of key criminological and clinical policy initiatives
involving the care and management of the mentally ill. In
particular, consideration is given to the impact such ideological
differences may have with regard to the establishment of
community-based psychiatric care programmes, the policy of
diverting mentally ill offenders away from the Criminal Justice
System and into care by Health and Social Services, and the need to
strengthen inter-agency co-operation.
