Abstract

The Offender Personality Disorder Pathway (OPDP) was co-commissioned in 2011 by the National Offender Management Service (NOMS) and the National Health Service (NHS) to better manage high-risk offenders with personality disorder. To meet this aim, the OPDP provides offenders with a pathway of psycho...
