dc.description.abstract |
An analysis of variables that affect the recidivism
rates among mentally ill offenders was undertaken to assess
the need for forensic case managers among this population.
Data was collected at an adult jail in Pennsylvania that
yielded~ a sample of 181 inmates who were assessed to be
suffering from a mental illness or a dual-diagnosis.
Persons believed both to be mentally ill and to have
committed criminal acts can often be enmeshed in a pattern
of relationships between mental health and correctional
agencies, such that they often receive the worst services
that both systems have to offer. Studies addressing the
treatment of mentally ill or dually diagnosed offenders
report a lack of integrated mental health and substance
abuse treatment programs for the incarcerated.
Additionally, the lack of appropriate housing and aftercare
once released from incarceration are also pitfalls to
successful treatment. This study focuses on the need to
resolve these problems and offers a case management model
that integrates residential and outpatient aftercare and
treatment for mentally ill or dually diagnosed offenders
once they are released from incarceration. |
