These alternatives—known as 'diversion programmes'—are widely celebrated as reforms that reduce the punishment of the mentally ill. But in \u003cem\u003eTrial by Treatment\u003c\/em\u003e, Mary Ellen Stitt shows that they have, in fact, expanded the reach of the criminal legal system and its power over the lives of the most vulnerable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe inner workings of diversion programmes are obscure, partially by design, and data on outcomes is hard to come by. Stitt draws on two years of fieldwork in criminal courtrooms and court-mandated treatment sessions, as well as an original national dataset, in-depth interviews, and experimental survey data, to document the hidden impacts of diversion. She shows that placing mental healthcare under the control of the courts has helped to legitimise the criminalisation of illness, warped treatment environments, and amplified inequalities in punishment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn vivid and humanising detail, \u003cem\u003eTrial by Treatment\u003c\/em\u003e shows how reforms that keep power and discretion in the same hands can entrench the very problems they promised to solve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46795519787244,"sku":"9780226840420","price":56.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/20632483482268.jpg?v=1757037815"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/mary-ellen-stitt.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
