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. -- .

For all the work on disability in previous years, there had been
surprisingly little done on a subject of central importance - the
social and psychological needs of teenagers with disabilities.
Originally published in 1982, the purpose of this timely book was
both to review the literature and to report an extensive study of
the nature of the psychological problems, the quality of social
life and the adequacy of the services available to a substantial
group of teenagers with disabilities in the last years at school,
with a follow-up study of half their number a year later. The
authors show that many of these teenagers, including those with a
mild disability, are often unhappy, worried and isolated from their
peers. While the majority of the teenagers with disabilities,
whether in ordinary or special schools, made friends at school,
these friendships were rarely sustained outside. After leaving
school the degree of social isolation is as great, and often worse.
Among these teenagers the incidence of psychological problems was
three to four times higher than for a control group, the most
common being worry, depression, misery, fearfulness and lack of
self-confidence and self-esteem. For the most part, the teenagers
with disabilities were likely to be immature and ill-prepared to
cope with adult life. These findings underline the need for a
counselling service while the teenagers are still at school, and
supporting services when they have left. Like other teenagers,
those in this study were unprepared for the possibility of not
having a job, and had not thought how to organize their lives if a
job was not available or feasible. The authors draw attention to
the large proportion of people with disabilities without occupation
after leaving school, and the high dissatisfaction with day
centres. Perhaps their most important finding is the need to
rationalize the piecemeal and overlapping provision of help for
school-leavers with disabilities. In the meantime, their book
provides a wealth of information of direct use to those concerned
with teenagers with disabilities and their families, whether in
school provision, careers advice, work placement and alternatives
to work, social services, counselling, medical services and further
education. This book is a re-issue originally published in 1982.
The language used is a reflection of its era and no offence is
meant by the Publishers to any reader by this re-publication.
