California Mental Health Laws Shift Toward Predicting Dangerousness
Original: Two Prosecutor-Backed Mental Health Laws Raise Questions over California’s Shift toward Predicting Dangerousness

Critics and legal observers are questioning the implications of this predictive model for civil liberties, due process and how people with mental illness are treated within the justice system.
