Ethical Concerns Mental health professionals are bound when it comes to ethical concerns when they are treating non-violent offenders, violent offenders, and trauma victims all within the legal system constraints. There are unique ethical concerns for each of these targeted population and depends solely on the etiology of each case. For non-violent offenders and violent offender’s ethical dilemmas of informed consent are different for that of trauma victims, because according to Institute of Medicine (2007), obtaining informed consent is a challenge due poor reading and communications. This is mainly because of the education level prisoners and because of prison institutions being closed facilities that are in place to punish and confine (Institute of Medicine,2007). Some other ethical dilemmas are the barriers to privacy and the right to refuse treatment which is a difficult task (Institute of Medicine, 2007).

(2014), when working through traumatic experience can result in emotional chaos for the victim and it is important to consider whether a victim can give consent to therapy.Also, another ethical consideration is the risk of re-dramatization which can occur when a mental health professional becomes complacent (Mailloux, 2014).
