Abstract:
Objective Analysis of the relationship between patients' migration status and the outcomes of forensic psychiatry in terms of time from entry to discharge and discharge mode.Methods Based on outcome data of the Bavarian forensic psychiatry, a retrospective case-control analysis between migrants and non-migrants was conducted. Participants were matched on age, sex, main diagnosis and main offence.Results Regarding treatment according to Section 63 of the German Criminal Code (Placement in psychiatric hospital), migrant and non-migrants didn't differ significanlty in the observed variables. Regarding treatment according to Section 64 of the German Criminal Code (Placement in addiction treatment facility), migrants' treatment was terminated prematurely more often and after less time than non-migrant's treatment.Conclusion Treatment according to Section 64 of the German Criminal Code is less successful for migrants.
