Abstract
In 1992, Jonathan Zito was killed by Christopher Clunis, a mentally ill man with a history of violence who was supposedly being cared for in the community. As a direct consequence of this tragedy, Jayne Zito founded The Zito Trust to campaign for reforms in the way community care is provided to those most in need of treatment and management, particularly severely mentally ill offenders. Here, she draws on the evidence of numerous inquiry reports to argue that community care in its present form has failed. She explores how this is linked to the closure of large psychiatric institutions, assesses the direction of mental health policy and identifies where change is still needed most.
