Recent inquiries into acts of homicide committed by individuals with a history of involvement in psychiatric and mental health services have been highly influential throughout the 1990s in the UK. This editorial focuses on one enquiry The Hampshire Report (Mishcon 1996) which concerned Mr Francis Hampshire, summarises its findings and draws attention to the features that distinguish it from the body of most other inquiries.
