From the United Kingdom, source of the Magna Carta, we have a well-ordered resource for many professionals concerning the care of the mentally disordered offender in the community.

No author is listed as being a forensic psychiatrist. The U.K. authors include psychiatrists, psychologists, lawyers, and sociologists.
