Book Review of Mental Health Homicide and Society: Understanding Health Care Governance by David Horton


I published a book review of Mental Health Homicide and Society: Understanding Health Care Governance by David Horton in 2021.

The review is in (2021) 60 Howard Journal of Crime and Justice 607. See https://doi.org/10.1111/hojo.12456 

Extract from the review:

"This is a fascinating book, providing rich insights into mental health homicide investigations. The author has undertaken a challenging task in applying Luhmann's systems theory to this field. The empirical work, in the form of the interviews, provides extra depth and a very high level of originality."
