Abstract
In 1999, the Home Office published a public consultation on the need for better management of offenders with severe personality disorders. The Dangerous and Severe Personality Disorder (DSPD) Programme was launched in 2001. Following a stocktake of the DSPD Programme in 2008, the Department of Health and the National Offender Management Service (NOMS) started the next phase of strategic development for the management of offenders with personality disorder. This paper presents the key features of the Coalition Government's strategy for offenders with personality disorders. This strategy offers a co-ordinated joint approach by both the National Health Service and the NOMS to the co-commissioning and development of pathway services.
