Description

One of the essays in this book offers a very logical 'starting off point' to the connection between mental illness and criminal behavior. It says that they cannot be compared as there are far too many varying definitions of either. Another essay asserts that criminals know right from wrong, regardless of mental illness. Another essay discusses the differences and efficacy in psychiatric hospitals and prisons. The ten essays in this volume will have your readers enraptured, as they explore well researched sources presenting them with both sides to the topics of mental illness and crime.
