Health characteristics and court diversion among adults with psychosis in the New South Wales Local Court: A data-linkage study
Court defendants with psychosis have a complex health profile. Although people with schizophrenia spectrum disorders are more likely to be diverted than those with other psychosis types, substance use may inhibit diversion. Health and criminal legal system collaboration is needed to facilitate diversion and treatment for this group.
