The authors thank Dr Wei for his interest and support provided to their research and its findings. We are cognisant that the experience of addressing mental illness, criminal justice contact, and homelessness is a worldwide issue.
Naturally, as with many cross-sectional cohort studies examining associations between independent characteristics and outcomes, causation is not able to be inferred. The authors agree that contact with the criminal justice system, mental disorders and/or substance use may both precede and contribute to homelessness. Although we do not infer a causal relationship, the high proportion of the cohort released from prison (∼30%) and the high rate of recidivism during the study show that the existing interventions are not preventive.
The authors look forward to prospective studies that may be able to disentangle the contribution and the effects of criminal recidivism, mental illness, substance use, and homelessness and seek to offer evidence-based solutions to provide stable accommodation.
期刊介绍:
Criminal Behaviour & Mental Health – CBMH – aims to publish original material on any aspect of the relationship between mental state and criminal behaviour. Thus, we are interested in mental mechanisms associated with offending, regardless of whether the individual concerned has a mental disorder or not. We are interested in factors that influence such relationships, and particularly welcome studies about pathways into and out of crime. These will include studies of normal and abnormal development, of mental disorder and how that may lead to offending for a subgroup of sufferers, together with information about factors which mediate such a relationship.
