A Prescription for Dignity: Rethinking Criminal Justice and Mental Disability Law

By Michael L. Perlin

Demonstrating how the question of treatment of persons with mental disabilities in the criminal justice system is not only a vital one for both scholars and practitioners, but also a central facet of international human rights law, this book suggests policy development, further scholarly inquiries and newly invigorated thinking and action to place dignity at the core of the criminal justice system.
