The current situation not only exacts a significant toll on the
lives of people with mental illness, their families, and the
community in general, it also threatens to overwhelm the criminal
justice system.

Overview; introducing criminogenic risk into the policy
discussion
Statement of the problemRoot of the problemModel of
intervention
The perceived root of the problem
People on the front lines every day believe too many people with
mental illness become involved in the criminal justice system
because the mental health system has somehow failed. They believe
that if many of the people with mental illness received the
services they needed, they would not end up under arrest, in jail,
or facing charges in court
Implicit model of what works
Symptom change often unrelated to recidivism
Revoked M=-1.23, sd= .80
Not revokedM= -1.29, sd= .60
Same as in multi-site jail diversion & mental health court
evaluationsSteadman & Naples (2005); Steadman et al.
(2009)
Skeem et al. (2009)
Research indicates that the root of the problem is more
complex
Increased mental health services often do not translate into
reduced recidivism, even for state of the art servicesCaslyn et
al., 2005; Clark, Ricketts, & McHugo, 1999; Skeem & Eno
Louden, 2006; Steadman & Naples, 2005Untreated mental illness
is a criminogenic need for only a small proportion of offenders
with serious mental illnessJunginger et al. (2006), Peterson et al.
(2009)Strongest criminogenic needs are shared by those with- and
without- mental illnessBonta et al., (1998); Skeem et al.
(2009)
Offenders with mental illness have significantly more central 8
risk factors for crime
Source: Skeem, Nicholson, & Kregg (2008)
.and these predict recidivism more strongly than risk factors
unique to mental illness (e.g., diagnosis, symptoms, treatment
compliance)
