Ailbhe O'Loughlin, "Law and Personality Disorder: Human Rights, Human Risks, and Rehabilitation" (Oxford UP, 2024)
b"In\\xa0Law and Personality Disorder: Human Rights, Human Risks, and Rehabilitation\\xa0(Oxford\\xa0UP,\\xa02024),\\xa0Dr Ailbhe O'Loughlin considers the controversial and under-researched concern of what to do with dangerous people with severe personality disorders.\\xa0She brings together scientific evidence, law and policy, to consider risk prevention, public security and human rights. This is a controversial area of law and policy, informed by ongoing debates about 'dangerous' offenders which exists at the intersection of liberal legal principles and advocates of social defence.\\xa0\\nIn today's conversation, we spoke about preventative detention, the effectiveness of therapeutic intervention and risk management, gaps in human rights protections, and the assumptions that the legal principles and processes that govern this population are founded on. O'Loughlin draws out key issues for reform and calls for further evidence-based inquiry with regards to criminal defences,\\xa0sentencing and dispositions. This will be\\xa0an important book for policy makers, legal academics, psychiatrists and anyone who works with this category of offenders.\\xa0\\nDr Ailbhe O'Loughlin\\xa0is a Senior Lecturer at York Law School, at The University of York. Her\\xa0research focuses on the intersection between mental health and criminal justice.\\xa0\\xa0\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
