دانلود کتاب عدالت کیفری و سلامت روان – مروری بر دانش آموزان

As with many “great” ideas, this text was borne from a casual conversation. The lead author – Jada Hector – had developed a course for criminal justice students on the intersectionality of mental health and criminal justice using her experience as a mental health professional embedded in Louisiana. In a spontaneous conversation with a Springer content manager, Jada conveyed that her students were responding positively to an insider’s perspective on “the struggles” of the entrenched problems inherent in the system for individuals living with mental illness. A simple response – write a book about that – certainly was not something Jada was expecting to hear, but that is what occurred on that fateful day.

Just over 5 years has passed, and the following represents the second edition of this effort in collaboration with Dave Khey. Dave is a criminologist with expertise in drug use and abuse, criminal justice programming, and aligning evidence-based programs, services, and curricula to address the needs of the people to live success­ful lives. For a decade, Jada and Dave have teamed up to help criminal justice sys­tems adopt programs and policies to help communities – and the people within them – to heal, thrive, and minimize the use of the system.

This text presents core material for all students with aspirations of aiding justice-involved populations at high risk of developing or those living with mental illness. While not exhaustive, such fields include emergency medicine, probation and parole, court and legal services, policing, corrections, mental health professionals, vulnerable population services (e.g., domestic violence, at-risk youth, and under­served populations), and beyond. The material is presented in a way that would lead anyone interested in these fields to have meaningful knowledge about the state of mental health services in the field, the types of programming that have made sub­stantial progress in helping people, and the areas that continue to require improve­ment. While the text focuses on the criminal justice system in the United States, it also explores commonalities of the problems facing justice-involved people across the globe.
