Forensic mental health experts review police alternatives to arresting mentally ill persons in confrontations, the efficacy of problem-solving courts, and continuity of care between jail and community. The book's best-practices approach extends to frequently related issues such as addiction, domestic violence, juvenile considerations, and trauma and describes successful programs coordinating judicial and clinical systems. These guidelines for decriminalizing non-violent behaviors and making appropriate services available to those with mental problems should also help address issues affecting the justice system, such as overcrowding. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncluded in the coverage: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Best Practices Model.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBest practices in law enforcement crisis interventions with the mentally ill.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProblem-solving courts and therapeutic jurisprudence.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompetency restoration programs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA review of best practices for the treatment of persons with mental illness in jail.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConclusions, recommendations, and helpful appendices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith its practical vision for systemic improvement, \u003ci\u003eBest Practices Model for Intervention with the Mentally Ill in the Criminal Justice System\u003c\/i\u003e is progressive reading for practitioners in the mental health field, especially practitioners working with inmates, as well as for stakeholders in the law enforcement and justice systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 88\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.21 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 27, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44272706945126,"sku":"9783319216553","price":150.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/RjZHOHJBVVBNTUdhRXlqTWlJQUpIQT09.webp?v=1766341821","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/best-practices-for-the-mentally-ill-in-the-criminal-justice-system-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
