However, there is some evidence of cost\u2010effectiveness in support of interventions at the point of incarceration, such as cognitive behavioural therapy, multisystemic therapy for juvenile delinquents, therapeutic communities, electronic monitoring and telepsychiatry in forensic psychiatry settings.

There are also challenges in turning economic evidence on mental health interventions in criminal justice into policy changes and improved practice, such as hidden costs, silo budgeting and delayed pay\u2010off. Research incorporating multi\u2010sectoral costs and benefits recommended by health economics and health technology assessment groups should be prioritised to support difficult resource allocation decisions faced by policy makers.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/cbm.2286","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,17]],"date-time":"2023-03-17T03:58:48Z","timestamp":1679025528000},"page":"139-148","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Economic evaluations of mental health interventions in criminal justice"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"33","author":[{"given":"Martin","family":"Knapp","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"London School of Economics and Political Science  London UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gloria","family":"Wong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Hong Kong  Hong Kong Hong Kong"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_1","volume-title":"Prison, police, and programs: Evidence\u2010based options that reduce crime and save money","author":"Aos S.","year":"2013"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1192\/bjp.bp.109.068643"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/14789940802236864"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/cbm.1829"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s2215\u20100366(21)00170\u2010x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/cbm.2112"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s0160\u20102527(02)00203\u20100"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0022427805280053"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/088626098013001006"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1043986204266892"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10597\u2010010\u20109299\u2010z"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_13_1","first-page":"104","article-title":"Is the therapeutic community an evidence\u2010based treatment?
