There isn't a single person that it doesn't apply to.
I've been told that it is used a lot to detain people when they don't have any other good reason.

Reason: is --> isn't
How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

I find it a worry that the new Mental Health Act gives the "authorities" the right to detain someone even though they're not acting in a way that makes them a danger to themselves or others or committing any crime.

Well, quite a few on here wouldn't mind a return to Victorian values so I guess that's OK then?
In practical terms - hasn't it always been that you can be detained 'for the good of society'? (whatever the hell that means)
