Urban Politics and the Criminal Courts Book

'In this area of forensic psychiatry and criminology, there is much philosophizing and pontification but little empiricism. Steadman had don a great service by simply taking a careful look at what happens to individuals involved in...incompetency to stand trial...Amazingly, the author is the first even to have tried to collect data in this area...This is a unique description of a critical piece of research. It should become an essential part of the scholarly literature for anyone interested in the field.' Seymour Halleck, University of North Carolina School of Medicine
