Preliminary findings of the COLAB Project

Presentation at the COLAB seminar. Lillestrøm, Norway. The presentation analyses the fragile resocialisation processes and lack of interaction between institutions of punishment and of treatment. Thus, the research draws attention to the difficult interagency collaboration concerning offenders with mental disorders involving the correctional services and the mental health services. Besides the issues of organisational integration, the challenge of collaboration may have additional implications regarding different kinds of resource differentials, something that the presentation investigates along with the questions of boundary relations.
