Abstract:
This paper examines the diversion of the mentally disordered offender against a background of the treatment of the mentally disordered in general. Some myths about incarceration are explored and the proposal is made that diversion is not a new idea. Finally, caution is expressed in the espousal of diversion in an uncritical fashion.
