Item description from seller

Paperback. People with serious mental illness (SMI) are prominently and unjustly overrepresented in the criminal legal system. More than one-thirdand in some studies more than two-thirdsof those with SMI have a lifetime history of arrest. For the first time, a single volume takes a deep dive into the common behaviors, contexts, and decisions that lead to misdemeanor arrests.Contributors representing the fields of anthropology, social work, criminology, and psychiatry draw on data from a mixed-method, multisite study (Atlanta, Chicago, New York, and Philadelphia) to examine how people with SMI become entangled in the criminal legal system and how failure to resolve underlying issuessuch as underfunded social and mental health service systems and the shortage of affordable housingplays a role.Divided into three distinct sections, Entangled: How People With Serious Mental Illness Get Caught in Misdemeanor Systems Provides a historical perspective on how social, mental health, and criminal legal system policies have imperiled individuals with SMI and demonstrates the contexts that shape decision-making across misdemeanor systems. Looks at specific misdemeanor charges that have traditionally been common for people with SMI, including criminal trespass, shoplifting, obstruction and resisting arrest, and misdemeanor assault and battery, with insight into the factors behind such charges. Reviews necessary reforms and policy advances in the criminal legal system and the mental health crisis response system and advocates for a multisystem approach that emphasizes racial equity. In each chapter, data-based clinical vignettes illustrate scenarios in which people with SMI have been arrested on misdemeanor charges, heightening the clinical relevance of the information. Key points summarize the main takeaways in every chapter and help readers retain important concepts.Offering a thorough and nuanced description of current challenges as well as a vision of a better future, Entangled encourages readers to be part of crafting solutions to help individuals with mental illnessespecially serious mental illnessembrace a life of recovery, hope, empowerment, and integration. Serious mental illness is linked to disproportionate misdemeanor arrests influenced by underfunded mental health care, housing shortages, and racial inequities. Multisite studies expose how systemic policies and routine decisions trap vulnerable individuals, while clinical insights point to avenues for meaningful reform.
