The increased emphasis in recent...

In 2006, the U.S. Department of Justice found that 31% of incarcerated women have a serious mental illness, while only 15% of men report the same (James, 2006).

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have been found to increase the risk for several chronic diseases and poor behavioural outcomes.
