An essential part of the DSPD service development strategy is to increase the evidence base. A substantial programme of research is underway and further research is planned for future years.
We are working closely with colleagues abroad and from the Centre for Violence Prevention, Department of Clinical Neuroscience, Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden. A book on ‘Structured clinical assessment and management of risk of violent recidivism in mentally disordered offenders’ by Mats Dernevik 2004 is published and printed by Karolinska University Press, Box 200, SE-171 77 Stockholm, Sweden.
