Abstract
The general object of the Criminal Justice Bill, now before Parliament, as set out in the explanatory Memorandum, is to improve the methods of dealing with persons found guilty of offences, including adolescent offenders and persons who commit repeated offences. It so happens that the Home Office has recently issued, as a Stationery Office publication, a Report on the Psychological Treatment of Crime which was made to the Secretary of State by Dr. Hubert and myself. The present position of psychiatry in relation to crime, therefore, seemed a fitting subject to discuss at this Conference.Keywords
