Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
Dvoskin and Broaddus (1993) have proposed a mental health care model for the efficient and systematic treatment of the mentally ill offender. This approach advocates a seamless continuum of services that includes the prison setting and satellite services within the community, linking correctional and parole staff with community mental health care providers.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
Too often, clinical practice with forensic clients occurs apart from family and the community. Families frequently experience guilt and blame themselves for the crimes of their relatives. Support, guidance, and psychoeducational programs are important strategies to adopt when working with family members.
