OBJECTIVES OF THE CX)URSE
Forensic psychiatry is a pivotal concern in contemporary criminological theory
and research. Psychiatrists and other mental health professionals are an
integral feature of Canadian judicial and correctional institutions. This
course is intended to fill a void in our offerings, by addressing the
theoretical, legal and substantive issues at±ndent to the interaction between
criminal justice and mental health. A number of faculty members in the
Department of Criminology have a donstrated expertise in this area and are
anxious to include this course in the Calendar. Moreover, several "Special
Topics" courses in "Psychiatry and Law" have been taught in the past, and have
engendered a very positive response from students. We feel that this course
both reflects the current state of criminological research and teaching, and
fulfills a tangible need in our. Department.
