Dementia and the Criminal Justice System examines one of the most pressing yet often overlooked challenges in law: how the criminal justice system affects individuals living with dementia. For someone with cognitive decline, incarceration—whether in jail or prison—can be devastating, even torturous. This book is designed to support those who are vulnerable, confused, or fragile due to dementia and to equip attorneys with the knowledge, strategies, and tools needed to secure fair and just outcomes for their clients.

Written by a team of leading legal and medical experts, this guide blends clinical insight, neuroscience, and practical legal guidance. It addresses issues such as competency, responsibility, neuroimaging, early-onset dementia, working with experts, case management, and the realities of jail and prison conditions for those with cognitive impairment. In addition, it explores guardianships, conservatorships, and the broader implications of dementia within the legal profession.
