Description
Will They Do It Again? examines the issue of public protection within a broad context of risk in society generally. The author considers how justified is concern about the risks posed by the mentally ill and how best to manage so-called dangerous people. By cutting through popular misunderstanding, this book provides a clear picture of the real risks from the mentally ill and how they can be contained and managed. The focus on high-profile cases where management of the mentally ill has failed informs suggestions for improvements in practice. This approach aims to give a balanced view of the risks to society and provide valuable insights for practitioners involved in criminal justice and psychiatry. By exploring the concerns arising from dealing with uncertainty, this book offers a nuanced understanding of risk assessment and management in these fields.
