It is recommended for its breadth of coverage and the multi-disciplinary outlook of its authors.” — Adegboyega Ogunwale, Consultant Psychiatrist, Neuropsychiatric Hospital, Aro, Nigeria “This collection represents a significant step in the study of mental health, crime and criminal justice in Africa. The breadth of topics covered is impressive.” — Justice Tankebe, Lecturer, Institute of Criminology, University of Cambridge, UK “The editors did well to coordinate the efforts of the contributors. I highly recommend it for all who are interested in the nexus between crime, mental health, and criminal justice systems.” — Francis D. Boateng, Assistant Professor, Department of Criminal Justice and Legal Studies, University of Mississippi, USA This book aims to serve as a comprehensive resource for a myriad of crime and mental health topics and issues in the African criminal justice system from a psycho-criminological perspective. Crime, Mental Health and the Criminal Justice System in Africa: A Psycho-Criminological Perspective is an ideal primary text for courses in criminology, criminal justice, and forensic psychology, as well as a source of reference for practitioners who deal with offenders or victims.
