Role And Function

There is increased recognition that the role and function of a consultant psychiatrist is ill-defined and associated with excessive workloads, low job satisfaction, high levels of stress and high rates of premature retirement (Kennedy & Griffiths, 2001). This has led to an examination and debate about how consultants in general psychiatry could adapt models of working to address these difficulties, and also face the agenda of change facing the NHS as a whole and the mental health services in particular (Kennedy & Griffiths, 2001; De Silva & Sutcliffe, 2003). These challenges are not, of course, unique to general psychiatry, but as yet, there has been little debate about how consultants in other specialities, including old age psychiatry, could begin to try and address these difficulties. This article aims to stimulate debate, by describing an adapted model of working adopted by two consultants in old age psychiatry within the Hull and East Riding Community Health NHS Trust.

The current National Health Service (NHS) approach to commissioning health services is in flux. The purchasing of care from providers by general practitioner fundholders (GPFHs) and health authorities has changed with the new White Papers. GPFHs no longer exist and the commissioning role is being handed over from health authorities to primary care groups (PCGs). An understanding of the reasons for change and current arrangements will aid the consultant psychiatrist in influencing this process.

Role And Function

The introduction of mental health services into a juvenile correctional facility should be conducted by a well-trained child psychiatrist with personal qualities that will enable him to get actively involved in a dynamic correctional program. He should have a series of preliminary discussions with the institutional administration to clarify mutual expectations and to dispel mis conceptions and apprehensions on the part of the administra tion, the institution staff, and the pyschiatrist. Other matters to be covered in initial meetings are the psychiatrist's contract concerning hours, salary, lines of communication, role, and function. While the psychiatrist will be called upon to diagnose, treat, and commit certain cases, there seems to be a growing demand for him to function as consultant and educator.

This chapter discusses contemporary debates regarding the use of artificial intelligence as a vehicle for criminal justice reform. It closely examines two general approaches to what has been widely branded as “algorithmic fairness” in criminal law: the development of formal fairness criteria and accuracy measures that illustrate the trade-offs of different algorithmic interventions; and the development of “best practices” and managerialist standards for maintaining a baseline of accuracy, transparency, and validity in these systems. Attempts to render AI-branded tools more accurate by addressing narrow notions of bias miss the deeper methodological and epistemological issues regarding the fairness of these tools. The key question is whether predictive tools reflect and reinforce punitive practices that drive disparate outcomes, and how data regimes interact with the penal ideology to naturalize these practices. The chapter then calls for a radically different understanding of the role and function of the carceral state, as a starting place for re-imagining the role of “AI” as a transformative force in the criminal legal system.
