Abstract

Criminal justice-involved individuals with mental health problems face multiple intersecting stigmas, which can have profound effects on all aspects of the lives of these individuals. Two studies were conducted in order to identify contributing factors to such stigmatic views. Using representative UK samples, these studies considered the effects of (1) mental health locus of origin and locus of control of behaviour and (2) the manipulation of person-centred language on attitudes towards criminal justice involved persons with mental health problems.
Study findings will be discussed, as will implications for stigma reduction and good practice more broadly.
