| Summary |
"In recent years the profile of forensic psychiatry has been raised, particularly with the increase in emphasis on risk assessment and risk management within psychiatry. Since the second edition of this book was published, there have been important developments in both case law and statute including the passing of the Crime (Sentences) Act 1997, the Sex Offenders Act 1997 and the Crime and Disorder Act 1998. The impact of these changes on psychiatry is described in this edition."--BOOK JACKET. "The book remains essential reading for doctors taking the membership examination of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, but will also be useful to general psychiatrists, psychiatric nurses, social workers, solicitors, probation officers and others whose work encompasses both the health and criminal justice systems."--BOOK JACKET |
