Corrections, Health, and Human Services: Evidence-based Planning and Evaluation
This report is the product of an Inter-Ministry initiative within British Columbia's Provincial Government, and is designed to promote integrated planning, delivery, and evaluation of services to reduce the risk that people with substance use and mental disorders become unnecessarily involved with the corrections system.
Mental Disorder, Substance Use and Criminal Justice Contact
In May 2003, the Minister of State for Mental Health brought together representatives from Ministry of Health Services (MOHS), Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD), Ministry of Attorney General (MAG) and the Ministry for Public Safety and Solicitor General (MPSSG) to address the prevalence of people with mental and substance use disorders who are involved in the justice system. The result was a cross-ministry commitment to develop a report about mentally disordered offenders in the justice system in order to identify the high priority and long-term issues for this population and provide recommendations to address these concerns.
