Claim: It is important for the protection of the public.
What evidence supports this claim?
1. 1 .
2. Furthermore it seems it is not unreasonable to detain people who you have good grounds to suspect could be dangerous as we already detain potentially dangerous people who do not have mental health problems anyway , if authorities believe they may be terrorists .
3. This means that people with DSPD fall through a gap between the criminal justice system and the healthcare system they can not be treated , so they never get less dangerous , but they can not be detained , so the public can not be protected from them .
4. There is no known effective treatment for Dangerous Severe Personality Disorder -LRB- DSPD -RRB- .
5. Currently , people with mental health problems who have not committed an offence may only be detained for the purposes of treatment , and may avoid treatment if they can argue that they will receive no benefit from it .
6. All of these killers had diagnosed mental illnesses but could not be detained under UK law , yet if they had been detained many lives would have been saved .
7. Jonathan Zito was stabbed to death by Christopher Clunis in 1992 ; Jason Mitchell beheaded his father and strangled two pensioners in 1994 ; Stephen Laudat killed his grandfather in 1994 , believing him to be the gang leader Ronnie Kray ; John Rous stabbed care worker Jonathan Newby to death in 1995 ; Michael Stone killed Lin and Megan Russell in a field near their home in 1996 .
8. Two people are killed every month by Care in the Community patients in the UK -LRB- Care in the community described in Scrapbook -RRB- .
9. The public is at risk from people with known dangerous mental health problems .
