This Police Foundation Briefing looks at the policing of mentally disordered offenders and identifies some of the key issues surrounding this aspect of policing.

The Briefing series provides police officers of all ranks and others interested in policing with an evidence based, up to date assessment of a wide range of key issues in policing and other related areas. It is particularly important reading for anyone new to the field, developing their career or simply needing to grasp a complex issue in a short space of time.

Annual hard copy and email subscriptions to The Briefing, for individuals and organisations, are available from this website.

If you would like to purchase an electronic copy of this Briefing (£2.00) please contact Sue Roberts on 020 7582 3744.
