| Abstract |
"The reason for this book on dementia is three-fold: first, there is a growing recognition that people with dementia become involved with the criminal justice system and need vigorous, informed, compassionate advocacy; second, there is a need for practical, easily digestible information for lawyers about this non-traditional criminal defendant; and third, this book is an attempt to get in front of the curve"-- Provided by publisher. |
