Few studies have focused on mentally ill juvenile offenders who end up on warrants of the lieutenant governor (LGW). The present study arose out of a larger study (1982) of all patients (N = 332) being held on lieutenant governor warrants in Ontario, Canada. Of this group, 24 were placed on warrants as juveniles (18 years and younger). The characteristics of this group, who are predominantly males with histories of psychiatric illnesses, diagnosed mainly as antisocial personality, and who have been found not guilty by reason of insanity on charges primarily of murder, or attempted murder, are described. In light of the proposed Young Offenders Act, a further study of all juveniles held on warrants of the lieutenant governor in Canada is proposed.
很少有研究关注最终被列入副总督令（LGW）的患有精神疾病的青少年罪犯。本研究源自于一项规模更大的研究（1982年），该研究针对加拿大安大略省所有因副总督令而被关押的患者（N = 332）。在这一群体中，有24人在青少年时期（18岁及以下）就被列入了副总督令。本文描述了这一群体的特征，他们以男性为主，有精神疾病史，主要被诊断为反社会人格，并且在主要因谋杀或谋杀未遂的指控中因精神错乱而被判定无罪。鉴于拟议的《青少年犯罪法》，建议对加拿大所有因副总督令而被关押的青少年进行进一步研究。
