HOW HAS THE TREATMENT OF MENTALLY DISORDERED OFFENDERS CHANGED OVER TIME?
Practical purpose of the module
Last week (for instance):
i) key individuals in the development of the penal system
ii) transition from system of emotion, vengeance, symbolism, punishment of body to one of objectivity, restraint and the
deprivation of liberty
iii) when idealism goes wrong
This week:
iv) how do you approach people who have done dreadful things?
victims themselves?
how to deal with presuppositions of wider society?
how to balance rights of offender and wider society?
what is 'justice' for such people?
Also observe this week:
a) History shapes the criminal legal process directly
b) attitudes and practices vary over time
c) the system can stagger along for ages in disarray.
