This joint briefing from Nacro, Clinks, Association for Mental Health Providers, and the Race Equality Foundation explores the challenges in providing effective mental health support for people from black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) communities that have contact with the criminal justice system. It looks at how services can be more effectively integrated to provide appropriate support and how to address disproportional access to mental health services and how to ensure that mental needs of BAME people are effectively met. The briefing and its recommendations are based on analysis of existing research, and workshops with people with lived experience from BAME communities and voluntary sector practitioners. The recommendations focus on addressing disproportionate access to health services in the justice system in the areas of: providing appropriate services; using data; involving people with lived experience; workforce and training; and integrated working.

This textbook brings together the theory, policy and skills relevant to working in a multi-agency setting within the criminal justice system. It is published at a particularly relevant time as the professional qualifying arrangements for probation officers are changing and a “mixed economy” of correctional practice is emerging. Wide-ranging chapters provide in-depth reviews and important insights into multi-agency work in this environment and acknowledge the challenges and tensions inherent in recent developments. The authors outline the legislative and policy framework in the criminal justice system and evaluate professional and organisational conflicts within multi agency contexts. They also highlight key offender groups and issues associated with desistance from crime. The book is expected to be a valuable resource for academics and students and key reading for policy makers, managers and practitioners involved in or studying correctional work, through the Probation or Prison services, or other agencies.
