Beschreibung

Disordered Personalities and Crime seeks to better understand how we respond to those individuals who have been labelled at various points in time as 'morally insane', 'psychopathic' or 'personality disordered'. This book argues that an analysis of the history of these diagnoses will help to provide a better understanding of contemporary dilemmas.

This book will be key reading for students, researchers and academics who are interested in crime and its relationship to mental disorder and also forthose interested in psychiatry and abnormal psychology.
