The care and management of mentally disordered offenders poses a
major challenge to criminal justice agencies and psychiatric
services. These patients, ???the people nobody owns???, are
particularly vulnerable to political and professional change and as
psychiatric services become increasingly community-based, the task
of meeting the needs of the offender, as well as expectations of
public protection, becomes a more difficult prospect. This book
brings together the papers and a summary of the discussion
presented at a Cropwood Round Table conference organized by the
Institute of Criminology and the Department of Psychiatry of the
University of Cambridge. Seeking to define future needs and
directions in legal and service provisions, it includes
perspectives from the fields of criminology, sociology and social
psychiatry, and contributions from practitioners and
administrators. Remarkable for the tenacity and depth with which
the expert contributors address the problems, this is essential
reading for all professionals working in the psychiatric and
criminal justice systems with this frequently marginalized client
group. Through a searching examination of the situation within one
jurisdiction it points the way to service developments, improved
care management and research opportunities that have universal
applications.
