A Comparison of “Offender” and “Non-Offender” Male Patients Admitted to the State Hospital, Carstairs between 1966 and 1975
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 January 2018
Summary
A comparison was made between ‘offender’ (part V) and ‘non-offender’ (part IV) male patients admitted to the State Hospital, Carstairs, over a ten year period. More than a third of the ‘non-offender’ group had at some time in the past been in penal institutions. During their stay in the State Hospital, the ‘non-offender’ patients were more disturbed in behaviour than their ‘offender’ counterparts, and relatively fewer of them were discharged during the period of study.
