Mental Disorder, Criminality and the Literary Imagination
This contribution attempts to explore the use of a variety of literary sources as aids or ‘prompts’ to understanding those offenders and offender‐patients whose mental states often raise considerable anxieties in those charged with their management. The word ‘prompt’ is borrowed from the work of my friend, the late doctor M urray C ox, and his co‐worker A lice T heilgaard in their seminal work Shakespeare as Prompter (1994). The author of the pre…

Fifty Years' ‘Hard Labour’ 1 (A Personal Odyssey)
This contribution is essentially a highly selective, personal and anecdotal account of some 55 years' experience of working in the criminal justice and forensic‐psychiatric (mental health) fields. It makes no pretence of being an academic presentation; thus only a modest number of references are cited in the text. The article makes no attempt at being all‐inclusive; for this reason it could be criticised for being somewhat idiosyncratic. Those se…
Fire-Raising
In recent years, fire-raising has become an increasing problem in Britain and elsewhere, and now involves many professionals in the investigation and management of those who set fires. The motives of fire-raisers are complex and their behaviour is hard to change. Herschel Prins sets the problem in an historical and anthropological context, examines the size of the problem, its investigation and motivation, in a way which will enable more effectiv…

Psychiatric Services and the Magistrates' and Juvenile Courts
The “Abnormal” Offender in the Community
“For the most part we judge the behaviour of others by our own, and estimate the motives and intentions which govern their behaviour by comparing them with our own instinctual urges.... Further, the ordinary person is often more potentially criminal than he is willing to believe, and sometimes unconsciously maintains his self regard by exaggerating the culpability of those who break the law.” (East, 1949)
Probation and After‐care Some Aspects of Casework
The Editorial comment in the 1969 issue of this journal referred to the number of Government reports that appeared in 1968, and which could ‘drastically affect social policy and the machinery of local and central government’, especially as these issues relate to the treatment of offenders. One of the issues raised in this editorial was ‘whether or not the after‐care undertaken by the probation service should expand into family and community suppo…
