The focus of the scholarly journal is the Winterbourne View hospital situation that happened in early 2011. He briefly summarizes the reason as to why the hospital is included in his article. A BBC reporter secretly filmed the Winterbourne View Hospital in 2011. This caught on film the abuse of residents in the hospital who suffered from mental illness. Phelvin also talks speaks about two other events that are similar to the Winterbourne view mistreatment.
