Abstract:
According to the findings of this 2010 survey, the overall number of crimes in hospitals reported in 2009 was significantly higher, in most instances, than the number of crimes reported the last time the survey was conducted in 2004. The new survey, funded by the IAHSS Foundation, also added new questions to establish baseline data on current and emerging trends in crime-related and other major security issues that challenge security professionals. For the first time, the IAHSS survey collected in formation about patient elopements and forensic and psychiatric patients. The 2010 IAHSS survey has now provided baseline data to compare the number of such patients treated in subsequent years to establish trends over time in this critical security area.
