The lack of good statistical information had been a major factor in
the poor planning of services for the mentally handicapped in the
late 1960s. The principal object of this book was to provide an
accurate factual basis for the planning of future services.
Originally published in 1972, this title is based on three years’
extensive research and consists primarily of statistical studies
rather than case studies. There is a survey of facilities provided
by hospitals for the mentally handicapped and a sample survey of
three Hospital Regions indicating the characteristics and
disabilities of the mentally handicapped inpatients. Also included
are two cohort studies, one of the subsequent experience of
patients after their first admittance to a hospital, and one of the
subsequent experience of all first referrals to a Local Authority
service. Both studies were carried out to determine trends in the
patterns of care. This was the first time that cohort techniques
had been applied in this field in this country. Since effective
long-term planning depends upon the coordination of the work of
Local Authorities and hospitals, it is unrealistic to divorce the
need for hospital beds from community provision. This book,
therefore, examined the present services for the mentally
handicapped in the round. It is supplemented by an extensive
bibliography and numerous tables and diagrams. As a result, it
should be of particular interest to psychiatrists, clinical
psychologists, hospital administrators, senior nursing staff and
Local Authority social service administrators. This book is a
re-issue originally published in 1972. The language used is
reflective of its era and no offence is meant by the Publishers to
any reader by this re-publication.

Concern for crime victims has been a growing political issue in
improving the legitimacy and success of the criminal justice system
through the rhetoric of rights. Since the 1970s there have been
numerous reforms and policy documents produced to enhance victims'
satisfaction in the criminal justice system. The Republic of
Ireland has seen a sea-change in more recent years from a focus on
services for victims to a greater emphasis on procedural rights.
The purpose of this book is to chart these reforms against the
backdrop of wider political and regional changes emanating from the
European Union and the European Court of Human Rights, and to
critically examine whether the position of crime victims has
actually ameliorated. The book discusses the historical and
theoretical concern for crime victims in the criminal justice
system, examins the variety of forms of legal and service provision
inclusion, amd concludes by analysing the various needs of victims
which continue to be unmet. -- .
