The results of this study report a heavy presence of current, symptomatic mental health pathology that is associated with increased criminality. The relationship between mental health pathology and probationer criminality was mediated by substance use. This study concludes that TC-TAIP screening and referral practices must include comprehensive mental health screenings to make appropriate, individualized assessment/treatment referrals for probationers.application/pdfenCriminology and Criminal JusticeHealth Services AdministrationLaw Enforcement and CorrectionsMedical SciencesMedicine and Health SciencesMental DisordersSubstance Abuse and Addictionmental healthsubstance use disorderprobationcriminalityarrestsThesis
