criminalization and mental illness
Definición
- Criminalization of the mentally ill refers to the process whereby individuals with mental disorders are shunted into the criminal justice system instead of being treated within the mental health system (Lamb & Weinberger, 1998; Teplin, 1983). The term “criminalization of mental-disordered behavior” was first used by Abramson in 1972 to describe his observations that persons with mental illness seemed increasingly likely to be arrested for minor crimes (Abramson, 1972).
