Abstract

How responsible are mentally disordered offenders for their crimes? How should those offenders deemed mentally unwell be dealt with? Aimed specifically at understanding the social context of the serious criminal offender who is deemed to be mentally abnormal, the third edition of 'Offenders, Deviants or Patients?' takes into account major changes in the law, attitudes towards responsibility and liability for crime, the updating of research findings concerning mental disorders and criminality and our procedures for managing offender-patients through the criminal justice and mental health-care systems. Illustrated by up-to-date case examples, Herschel Prins examines the relationship between abnormality and criminal behavior, the extent to which this relationship is used or misused in the criminal courts and the various facilities that are currently available for the management/incarceration of offenders/patients. Unique in its multidisciplinary approach 'Offenders, Deviant or Patients?' will be invaluable to all those who come into contact with serious offenders, as well as to those studing crime and criminal behavior.

Abstract

Focus in the media on the risks posed to ordinary people has become increasingly strong in recent years - particularly on those risks popularly perceived to be posed by the mentally ill. But how justified is this concern? How do we best manage so-called dangerous people? In Will They Do It Again? Herschel Prins considers the issue of public protection within a broad context of risk in society generally, examining the concerns arising in contemporary society from dealing with uncertainty. It is argued that public fear over the danger posed by the mentally ill is at odds with the ev

Abstract

In recent years, fire-raising has become an increasing problem in Britain and elsewhere, and now involves many professionals in the investigation and management of those who set fires. The motives of fire-raisers are complex and their behaviour is hard to change. Herschel Prins sets the problem in an historical and anthropological context, examines the size of the problem, its investigation and motivation, in a way which will enable more effective management.
