This timely brief resource introduces a new evidence-based model
for treatment of mentally ill individuals in jails, with emphasis
on community-based options. Forensic mental health experts review
police alternatives to arresting mentally ill persons in
confrontations, the efficacy of problem-solving courts, and
continuity of care between jail and community. The book's
best-practices approach extends to frequently related issues such
as addiction, domestic violence, juvenile considerations, and
trauma and describes successful programs coordinating judicial and
clinical systems. These guidelines for decriminalizing non-violent
behaviors and making appropriate services available to those with
mental problems should also help address issues affecting the
justice system, such as overcrowding. Included in the coverage: The
Best Practices Model. Best practices in law enforcement crisis
interventions with the mentally ill. Problem-solving courts and
therapeutic jurisprudence. Competency restoration programs. A
review of best practices for the treatment of persons with mental
illness in jail. Conclusions, recommendations, and helpful
appendices. With its practical vision for systemic improvement,
Best Practices Model for Intervention with the Mentally Ill in the
Criminal Justice System is progressive reading for practitioners in
the mental health field, especially practitioners working with
inmates, as well as for stakeholders in the law enforcement and
justice systems.
