Prison or psychiatry for criminals debated at psychiatry meeting
Three psychiatrists told the American Psychiatric Association’s annual meeting that a bad boy and bad men exist and often do not fit mental illness. They urged prison terms for serious offenders rather than psychiatric care, arguing many criminals wear a “mask of insanity” to escape punishment. The NY County study reviewed 71,000 examinations of about 57,000 individuals, finding fewer than five percent require special psychiatric treatment.
