considered some of the issues surrounding the
\nimplementation of mental health courts. For this assignment, you have been
\nhired to work on a proposal for a mental health court for your county.<\/p>\n
Broward County, Florida, was a pioneer in this field, and
\nstudies of their system have been published. A search of the SUO library should
\nbegin there. Also, organizations such as the American Psychiatric Association
\nand Mental Health America have published position papers on the topic. A 2006
\nstudy by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) can provide needed background
\non incarcerated inmates with mental issues.<\/p>\n
Using appropriate research, prepare a 4-6 page report in
\nMicrosoft Word that addresses the following points:<\/p>\n
\u00b7Review the current state of \u201cmental health
\ncourts.\u201d How prevalent are they? Is this a trend that seems to be gaining
\nsupport? Do they exist in your county presently?<\/p>\n
\u00b7Discuss the methodology used by the BJS to
\nsupport the need for mental health services in corrections. Evaluate whether
\ntheir research is appropriate for determining the need for mental health
\ncourts, and\/or show how it could be improved. In other words, does the BJS
\nstudy tell us what we need to know?<\/p>\n
\u00b7The BJS study at the heart of this movement
\nwas updated in 2006. Your report proposes an updated study. Provide and discuss
\nat least five appropriate research questions that a present-day study on the
\nmental health of offenders should cover.<\/p>\n
Last, if your county were to adopt or expand this model,
\nthe professionals involved in its implementation will need guidance. Conclude
\nyour report with guidelines and procedures for police, prosecutors, and public
\ndefenders. For example, how should police training be modified to help officers
\nrecognize mental health issues? What criteria should prosecutors use when
\ndeciding whether to divert a case? Use these questions as the beginning of this
\nsection.<\/p>\n
Make<\/p>\n
certain that you support your proposal with proper reasoning and research <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
