This course provides a broad overview of legal and policy issues related to the intersection of mental health/illness issues and the law. We will examine the difference between the civil and criminal law aspects of the experiences of those with mental health concerns. In particular, we will examine how the rights of those with mental illness (including incarcerated men and women) are defined in the law and are protected, or not, in action. Students will examine case law and policies which define the power of the civil and criminal law to both protect and to intervene in various situations regarding the individuals with mental illness.This course was previously CHS-264514 Mental Health and the Law.
