How might we best manage those who have offended but have mental
vulnerabilities? How are risks identified, managed and minimised?
What are ideological differences of care and control, punishment
and therapy negotiated in practice? These questions are just some
which are debated in the eleven chapters of this book. Each with
their focus on a given area, authors raise the challenges,
controversies, dilemmas and concerns attached to this particular
context of delivering justice. Taking insights on imprisonment,
community punishments and forensic services, this book provides a
broad analysis of environments. But it also casts a critical light
on how punishment of the mentally vulnerable sits within public
attitudes and ideas, policy discourses, and the ways in which those
seen to present as risky and dangerous are imagined. Written in a
clear and direct style, this book serves as a valuable resource for
those studying, working or researching at the intersections of
healthcare and criminal justice domains. This book is essential
reading for students and practitioners within the fields of
criminology and criminal justice, social work, forensic psychology,
forensic psychiatry, mental health nursing and probation.
