Further, Research Has Been Done Specifically In The Realm

Further, research has been done specifically in the realm of supervision for the mentally ill offender. Dirks-Linhorst Linhorst (2012), set out to determine what guidelines and polices should be in place to better assist mentally ill offenders to achieve effective monitoring to combat recidivism rates. In regards to community supervision, which most mentally ill offenders are on at one point or another, there are countless challenges that are faced by not only the offender, but the supervising staff. However, according to these researchers there are a number of things that supervising agencies can be doing to aid their mentally ill offenders in desisting from crime.

A critical point in the research was in the method, by using an intricate system of assess ments, the researchers were able to show that if clinicians, professional staff, etc. use complete assessments, they can gather more information on the offender such as the offender’s potential familial bonding situation currently, and what it could be. Also, how the offender could personally adjust to the environment, how the offender could also adjust to the community was addressed as well. Further, a complex assessment tool enables the staff to compare and contrast differing types of aid and services and determine which one to utilize to better bridge the gap of social bonding that seems to be damaged with mentally ill offenders. Therefore, in this research not only is it important to understand the necessity to use the proper assessment tool. It is also important in improve the social bonds that a mentally ill offender has. The social bonds that this subpopulation incurs can either be positive or detrimental to their path of desisting from criminal activity.
