Abstract
The use of the term ‘mentally abnormal’ offenders in the context of this paper is probably somewhat misleading. It is not particularly used here to reflect the psychiatric status of the offenders in the conventional sense but mainly to indicate the location characteristics of the group under discussion. Basically, ‘mentally abnormal’ offenders in the context of this paper means offenders who have been disposed of in treatment/training settings.
