Introduction
In April 2000 the National Forensic Mental
Health R&D Programme’s Advisory Committee commissioned a series of expert
papers covering the categories identified from an earlier priority question
setting exercise undertaken by representatives of key stakeholder groups. These
papers were written to provide an overview of ongoing and completed research in
addition to proposing a future programme of research.
In 2007 a second series of these expert papers were comissioned to review materials published since and give an update on the current research base.
Expert papers based on the proceedings of seminars on key issues in forensic mental health
