In the last 15 years, there have been major policy changes affecting the ways offenders with personality disorder are managed in prison and hospital in England and Wales. The Offender Personality Disorder (OPD) Strategy (National Offender Management Service and National Health Service England, 2015) replaced the Dangerous and Severe Personality Disorder (DSPD) Programme (Home Office and Department of Health, 1999), and the foundation of the new strategy, the Community Pathways services, was rolled out nationally in 2013, closely followed by intervention services in prisons.
