The author reports on a recent Mind survey, which surveyed 304 people with personal experience of mental illness about their experiences of crime and how they felt the police had responded. It also asked 86 support workers working with victims and witnesses with mental distress for their views about the criminal justice system. The findings revealed that people with mental health problems are not only more vulnerable to crime; they are much less likely to get justice.
