Abstract
Mental health inpatients are known to be at risk of criminal victimisation but the experiences of this vulnerable victim population seldom receive mention in the victimological literature. Against this backdrop, this article explores to what extent and in what ways mental health inpatients report victimisation and provides the first systematic analysis of what the existing evidence base tells us about the subsequent responses of mental health services and criminal justice agencies. Identified knowledge gaps are problematized as impediments to evaluation of both policy and practice in this context. An agenda for future research is additionally sketched out
