Line 90:
==Mental health and community care==
 
Under the [[National Health Service and Community Care Act 1990]], people with mental health problems were able to remain in their own homes whilst undergoing treatment. This situation raised some concerns when acts of violence were perpetrated against members of the public by a small minority of people who had previously been incarcerated in old Victorian psychiatrist hospitals.
 
Although there have been some murders by a few people in the community with mental health problems, the truth is that it is far more likely that someone with mental health problems will be subject to attack by someone who is healthy themselves.<ref> [http://www.leeds.ac.uk/disability-studies/archiveuk/Baker/MIND.pdf Read J. and Baker S. 1996, Not just sticks and stones]
