Abstract
Behind today's fixation on risk assessment and risk management in the care of people with mental health problems in the community lies a more sinister regime, argues NIKOLAS ROSE. Clinical judgement is now less about care and treatment; much more about the control of those who might pose a threat to the community in which, with the closure of the long-stay hospitals, they now must live.
