Synopsis

The newest entry in the cutting edge topic of Mental Illness and Crime, this book from Denise Gosselin is practically focused and straightforward in its approach. It's clear, concise writing style avoids jargon and will engage both undergraduate and graduate students. It includes discussions of understanding mental illness, the changing landscape of criminal justice and mental illness, criminal justice responses to mental illness, alternatives to incarceration and global issues. An accompanying website includes Test Banks and other instructional materials.

Organized into five sections:

Part I UNDERSTANDING MENTAL ILLNESS concern the history (past and present), classifications, and introduction to the criminal justice issues on the responses to people with mental illness.

Part II THE CHANGING LANDSCAPE examines the criminal justice involved encounters that occur outside of the traditional system, involving intervention, collaboration, and civil commitment.

Part III CRIMINAL JUSTICE RESPONSES look at law and policy of law enforcement, the criminal court and corrections.

Part IV ALTERNATIVES TO INCARCERATION reflects recent changes to reentry and community corrections. The juvenile justice component includes the brief system responses to juveniles with mental disorders.

Part V GLOBAL ISSUES stands alone as chapter 14 to remind us that we are not alone! The issues and system responses are not unique to the United States.
