Discussing a profoundly serious topic which has many misconceptions surrounding it, this book is excellent reading for anybody who deals with criminal justice and mental health. I recommend it strongly.
Dr Walid Sarhan MD, FRCPsych, IDFAPA, Chief Editor Arab Journal of Psychiatry
This book is aimed at a broad readership who will be interested in this topic, including students, researchers, and teachers in criminology, psychology, and psychiatry, criminal justice personnel, and mental health professionals. Furthermore, homicide and serious mental disorder are universal to all cultures and societies and therefore this book will attract a wide international readership.
