Justice Processes & Experiences - Trauma, Mental Illness and the Justice System
Questions in this group:
Justice Processes & Experiences - Trauma, Mental Illness and the Justice System
How do mental health conditions and trauma histories influence people's pathways to crime, rates of reoffending and their experiences within the criminal justice system? How can interventions be tailored to address their specific needs? What systems are in place to ensure their needs continue to be met once their contact with the criminal justice system ends? How effective are these systems?

Justice Processes & Experiences - Trauma, Mental Illness and the Justice System
To what extent have trauma-informed practices been embedded within the Scottish justice system? What progress has been made and what aspects of the system still need to be adapted in order to minimise harm and re-traumatisation, support the recovery of victims and, enable the most effective evidence gathering?
