The forensic psychiatric treatment measure of TBS has come under critical public and political scrutiny of late. Unfortunately, perceptions of criminality and expectations regarding assessment and treatment of offenders rarely concur withempirical evidence, and sometimes widely diverge from it. This article summarizessome main scientific findings pertaining to the assessment, treatment anddischarge phases of TBS. It is argued that significant progress has been made inseveral areas, such as risk assessment or the formulation of 'what works' principles,while limitations of the present knowledge base are also identified. Furthermore,it is shown that evidence regarding effective treatment interventionsremains tenuous, though some positive indications of general effectiveness offorensic mental health care are available. Several problematic concepts, suchas diminished responsibility and treatability, are elucidated. Finally, findingsare briefly evaluated in the context of the recent report by the ParliamentaryReview Committee TBS.

In the European Union, the infrastructure charging regimes that can be observed are often far from internalising external costs and are rarely based on efficiency principles. In this situation differentiation of existing charges appears to be a sensible intermediate step. In this paper we study the empirical evidence of the different aspects that affect infrastructure pricing as described by theory. In order to do so information was collected from a number of case studies, and a set of indicators was defined, not only to allow for the analysis of price differentiation practise with respect to the degree of differentiation, but also to account for the level of ambition of the price setting actors. The cross-case analysis was based on a number of hypotheses that were drawn from the theoretical framework. Testing for the hypotheses using the case study information allowed us to establish an overview of the current state of differentiated infrastructure charging.

"This book offers the core conceptual base for the practice of T-Group facilitation. Drawing from the fields of psychology, social psychology, sociology, diversity studies, and Indian philosophical thoughts, this book is a great resource for enhancing the practice of T-Group facilitation, both for budding and established facilitators. It covers a wide range of theories on human development, self-awareness, interpersonal interactions, groups, and change. Individual and group identities, diversity, inclusion, and social hierarchies are explored in detail here. The authors offer a model of T-Group facilitation based on the fifty years of experience within the Indian Society for Applied Behavioural Science (ISABS). This model is not only useful for fellow practitioners of T-Groups, but also for anyone engaged in facilitating groups, organizations, and communities globally. This book helps one to reflect, develop and sharpen one's competencies, values, and ethics in this field. The chapters are embedded with activities, quizzes, case studies, exercises to facilitate a deeper understanding of the various elements used in the book. This book will be of interest to students, teachers, and practitioners of psychology, social psychology, management studies and organizational development. It will also be useful for T-Group facilitators, facilitators of experiential groups and related fields"--
