Reviews
“Mental Health, Crime and Criminal Justice (Winstone, 2016) is a refreshingly candid look at the challenges related to persons with mental illness(es). … this book is exceptionally well-edited; topics and voices cohere especially well for an edited volume. … the book remains accessible to a wider audience, with descriptions of some seemingly unfamiliar ideas. Additionally, the book, while coming out of the United Kingdom, discusses ideas in a way that renders them applicable to other national contexts as well.” (Kayla G. Jachimowski, Criminal Law and Criminal Justice Books, clcjbooks.rutgers.edu, January, 2017)
'Criminal justice-based mental health services have been seriously grappling with internal and external pressures for many years. Various "reform" efforts have come and gone over time. Some have lingered; others have succeeded. For this valuable volume, Jane Winstone has gathered a knowledgeable international group of mental health and criminal justice scholars, researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and service-recipients. In more than a dozen articles, Winstone and her contributors present an experienced array of cogent insights, purposeful proscriptions, and sage advice that will improve day-to-day practice and program outcomes.' Russ Immarigeon, Editor, Pathways for Offender Reentry'This is a unique and fascinating read and it's hard to imagine it going out of date for some considerable time. It contains a variety of topics drawn from quite different fields of knowledge to review the interface between criminal justice and mental health and propose solutions for the challengesfaced. The issues covered include a thorough review of the intervention evidence base, psychological jurisprudence, desistance theory, trauma, and multi-agency collaboration. Winstone has done an excellent job in tying these varied themes together to produce a comprehensive text in this critical policy area.' - Graham Durcan, Associate Director, Criminal Justice Programme, Centre for Mental Health, UK
