Many experts point to the deinstitutionalization of mental hospitals in the 1960's, which led to more patients living on their own, as the reason for this high rate of incarceration. But this explanation does not justify why our society has chosen to treat these people with punitive measures. In Crime, Punishment, and Mental Illness, Patricia E. Erickson and Steven K. Erickson explore how societal beliefs about free will and moral responsibility have shaped current policies and they identify the differences among the goals, ethos, and actions of the legal and health care systems. Drawing on high-profile cases, the authors provide a critical analysis of topics, including legal standards for competency, insanity versus mental illness, sex offenders, psychologically disturbed juveniles, the injury and death rates of mentally ill prisoners due to the inappropriate use of force, the high level of suicide, and the release of mentally ill individuals from jails and prisons who have received little or no treatment. 410 0$aCritical issues in crime and society. 606 $aForensic psychiatry$zUnited States 606 $aInsanity (Law)$zUnited States 606 $aCriminal liability$zUnited States 606 $aPeople with mental disabilities and crime$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aForensic psychiatry 615 0$aInsanity (Law) 615 0$aCriminal liability 615 0$aPeople with mental disabilities and crime 676 $a614/.15 700 $aErickson$b Patricia E.$f1947-$01045103 701 $aErickson$b Steven K.$f1971-$01045104 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453594303321 996 $aCrime, punishment, and mental illness$92471105 997 $aUNINA
