Women referred for medium secure inpatient care: a population study over a six-year period

  • Clive Long (a1), Louise Hall (a1), Lorraine Craig (a1), Ursula Mochty (a1) and Clive R. Hollin (a2)...
Abstract

The need to map women’s secure hospital services in terms of patient population and service needs over time is acknowledged given: the increase in forensic and medium secure beds nationally; and limited gender specific analysis in previous studies. Data is presented relating to 65 consecutive admissions (over a 6-year period) to a women’s medium secure unit at three (14-month) time periods. Trends noted in population statistics include a decline in special hospital referrals and an increased proportion of prison referrals with an index offence of arson in the past two years in association with a lower level of cognitive functioning, and a higher level of assaultative behaviour. In accord with the responsivity principle (Ogloff & Davis, 2004) the implications for treatment and service planning for this changing population are discussed.
