About this book

With contributions from well-known experts, this volume discusses clinical assessment, management, and treatment of offenders with mental disorders, including treatment in a range of secure hospital facilities, in prisons, and in the community. Supplying a thorough review of the evidence base, the contributors explore legal and ethical issues, report-writing, and testifying in court. This edition includes new chapters on the genetics of antisocial behaviour, disorders of brain structure, offenders with intellectual disabilities, older people and the criminal justice system, and deviant and sick staff. The printed text is supplemented with a digital book featuring links to key references.
