Do the effects of inadequate housing/community and inadequate employment increase the likelihood of criminality amongst individuals with mental health disabilities?
Abstract
An abundant amount of research on mental health and more specifically the social barriers faced by Individuals with Mental Health Disabilities (IMHD) exists regarding access to adequate housing/community and employment. What research lacks in precision concerns incidents of criminality amongst IMHD. Research has concluded decades over that IMHD are more at-risk of finding themselves in situations of inadequate employment and inadequate housing/community. To which, research has also found most often leads to increased chances of addiction, welfare dependency, negative peer associations/influences, lack of positive role models; situations of which in general lend greater opportunities for criminal involvement. This paper will in a literature review, seek to understand and analyze why IMHDs make-up an overrepresented population within the criminal justice system, and whether or not there is a correlation between criminality perpetuated by IMHD in relation to situations of inadequate housing/community and inadequate employment amongst said population.
