Mental Health and Criminal Justice, Second Edition, thoroughly updated by respected author Anne F. Segal, balances practical knowledge of how the mental healthcare system operates in conjunction with the criminal justice system. Its analytical framework illuminates how the quality of that collaboration is reflected in the issues, processes, and outcomes of both institutions. This informative criminal justice textbook familiarizes students with the terminology, and relevant legal venues and avenues, as well as the treatment programs in the community.

Using a broad perspective, this text is organized into three thematic topics: Part I consists of three chapters that provide the reader with the Tools for Understanding, which are essential for the comprehension of the foundations of mental health and illnesses. Part II, Providing Justice, Providing Mental Healthcare, consists of five chapters that examine how mentally ill persons are treated in the justice system. Part III, Special Issues, examines three topics: (1) Juveniles and Mental Illness, (2) Justice and the Mentally Ill, and (3) a new chapter on Civil Law, Criminal Law, and the Intersection with Risk Assessment.
