More than 10.74 million people globally are detained in penal institutions. An estimated 40% to 90% of these detainees suffer from mental illness. This makes the prevalence of mental disorder in detainees extremely high compared with the general population (18% to 29%). As a consequence, defendants and detainees with mental illness are not 'yet another vulnerable group' that should be 'taken into account' in developing laws and policies On the contrary, they are a dominant force and therefore a factor that should shape our criminal justice systems. This edited volume provides insight into the causes of the current situation, the human rights implications and other problems that this situation generates and possible solutions and best practices. The volume comprises an introductory chapter that provides a broad introduction to the topic, seven thematic chapters addressing mental health and criminal justice from various disciplines and fourteen national chapters describing the situation in individual countries. In all these chapters a variety of questions is addressed: Should we at all put mentally ill offenders in prison? Can the human rights perspective and the interests of society perspective on this issue be united? And are mentally ill offenders the responsibility of the health department or of the justice department? This edited volume presents a thorough discussion on these and many more questions with a broader aim of contributing to a continuous effort to place the alarming situation of mentally ill offenders on the international agenda. Plus de 10,74 millions de personnes dans le monde sont d�tenues dans des �tablissements p�nitentiaires. On estime que 40 � 90 % de ces d�tenus souffrent d'une maladie mentale. La pr�valence des troubles mentaux chez les d�tenus est donc extr�mement �lev�e par rapport � la population g�n�rale (pr�valence de 18 % � 29 %). Par cons�quent, les pr�venus et les d�tenus souffrant de troubles mentaux ne constituent pas un autre groupe vuln�rable qui devrait �tre pris en compte lors de l'�laboration de lois et de politiques. Au contraire, ils constituent une force dominante, et donc un facteur qui devrait fa�onner nos syst�mes de justice p�nale. Ce volume �dit� donne un aper�u des causes de la situation actuelle, des implications en mati�re de droits de l'homme et des autres probl�mes que cette situation g�n�re, ainsi que des solutions possibles et des meilleures pratiques. L'ouvrage comprend une introduction circonstanci�e du sujet, sept chapitres th�matiques abordant la sant� mentale et la justice p�nale sous l'angle de diverses disciplines et quatorze chapitres nationaux d�crivant la situation dans les diff�rents pays. Diverses questions sont abord�es dans chacun de ces chapitres, telles que: faut-il vraiment emprisonner les d�linquants souffrant de troubles mentaux? Est-il possible de concilier la perspective des droits de l'homme et celle des int�r�ts de la soci�t� sur cette question? Et: les d�linquants souffrant de troubles mentaux rel�vent-ils de la responsabilit� du minist�re de la Sant� ou du minist�re de la Justice? Outre la pr�sentation d'un d�bat approfondi sur ces questions et bien d'autres encore, cet ouvrage vise � contribuer � un effort continu pour inscrire la situation alarmante des malades mentaux � l'ordre du jour international.
