The NGRI Registry is a comprehensive census database collected by the Law and Psychiatry Division of the Department of Psychiatry at the Yale University School of Medicine. This longitudinal database was compiled following a systematic search of all available docket books from the superior courts and mental health records from the state hospitals in Connecticut beginning in January 1970. Detailed life span information is available for 364 insanity acquittees identified during the search. Comparative analyses with four other locales suggested that there were regional differences in diagnoses of and crimes committed by the acquittees. These initial analyses demonstrate the promise of this registry becoming one tool for collaborative research on issues relevant to law and mental health.
“因精神错乱而无罪”登记处是一个综合普查数据库，由耶鲁大学医学院精神病学系法律与精神病学部门收集。这个纵向数据库是在对康涅狄格州高等法院所有可用的诉讼记录簿以及该州医院的心理健康记录进行系统检索后编制而成的，检索始于1970年1月。对于检索过程中确定的364名因精神错乱而宣判无罪者，可获取详细的寿命信息。与其他四个地区的比较分析表明，这些无罪者在诊断和所犯罪行方面存在地区差异。这些初步分析表明，这个登记处有望成为法律与心理健康相关问题合作研究的一种工具。
