“Released en masse from institutions beginning in the 1960s, the most severely ill are most likely to become homeless, incarcerated, victimized, and/or violent… Chilling and well documented, this text has many no-nonsense solutions to protect the mentally ill themselves as well as society as a whole.” -Pub Wkly
