But how justified is this concern? How do we best manage so-called dangerous people?\u003cbr\u003e In \u003cem\u003eWill They Do It Again?\u003c\/em\u003e Herschel Prins considers the issue of public protection within a broad context of risk in society generally, examining the concerns arising in contemporary society from dealing with uncertainty. It is argued that public fear over the danger posed by the mentally ill is at odds with the evidence, and that much of the concern is focused on a small number of high-profile cases. Prins goes on to examine such cases where management of the mentally ill has failed and sets out suggestions for improvements in practice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eWill They Do It Again?\u003c\/em\u003e cuts through popular misunderstanding and media hype over risk to give a clear, unbiased picture of the real risks to society from the mentally ill and how best they can be contained and managed, and will prove invaluable to a range of practitioners involved in the fields of criminal justice and psychiatry.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45542887457006,"sku":"9780415160186","price":67.19,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780415160186.jpg?v=1720136823","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/will-they-do-it-again","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
