The first of its kind, Women’s Mental Health Issues Across the Criminal Justice System is dedicated to giving the “most invisible” offenders in today’s criminal justice system—mentally ill adolescent girls and women—a face and a voice. The book is organized around the subsystems of the U.S. criminal justice system. Each section highlights mental health research and policy issues and focuses on the impediments to treatment and service delivery as well as the model programs, assessments, and intervention processes that offer hope within and across the system.

The provocative title suggests that in the future everyone will go to jail for 15 minutes, but the contents do not reflect that bias. The 12 contributions provide students of criminal justice with perspectives from sociology, corrections, and criminology on such aspects as varying ideologies of punishment, the politics of crime and punishment, the treatment needs of women in prison, INS detention centers, and boot camps. Intended as a supplementary reader for a course. No index. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
