An interesting text that provides a trans-altantic perspective on the treatment and supervision of mental health issues within the secure estate. Readers are introduced to the clinical and actuarial aspects of managing risk through assessment protocols and supervision. A good source of reference that has potential to generate comparative debates in UK practice.
