Author Bruce A. Arrigo contends that despite periodic and well-intentioned efforts at reform, the current law-psychiatry system functions to punish the mentally ill for being different. The book synthesizes a wide range of mainstream and critical literature in sociology, law, philosophy, history, psychology, and psychoanalysis to establish a new theory of punishment at the law-psychiatry divide. To situate the analysis, enduring psycholegal issues are explored including the meaning of mental illness, definitions and predictions of dangerousness, the ethics of advocacy, the right to community-based treatment, the logic of forensic courtroom verdicts, transcarceration, and the execution of mentally disordered offenders among others. Punishing the Mentally Ill shows that current mental disability law research, programming, and policy are seriously flawed and that wholesale reform is necessary if the goals of citizen justice, social well-being, and humanism are to be realized. 410 0$aSUNY Series in New Directions in Crime and Justice Studies 606 $aInsanity (Law)$zUnited States 606 $aMentally ill$xCommitment and detention$zUnited States 606 $aPunishment$zUnited States 615 0$aInsanity (Law) 615 0$aMentally ill$xCommitment and detention 615 0$aPunishment 676 $a346.7301/38 700 $aArrigo$b Bruce A$01630389 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813175703321 996 $aPunishing the mentally ill$93983546 997 $aUNINA
