To explore the specificity of criteria for civil commitment for dangerousness, the authors examined the relationship between civil commitment for dangerousness to others under the California Civil Commitment Statute (the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act) and violent acts and behavioral ratings made immediately after commitment. Using a prospective design they evaluated 84 subjects. The ratings of violent acts for subjects considered dangerous to others were no different than those of a nondangerous control group. The subjects considered dangerous to others, however, differed on several subscales of the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale. The authors discuss the implications of these results for civil commitment proceedings.
为探究危险性民事强制住院标准的特异性，作者考察了依据《加利福尼亚州民事强制住院法》（《兰特曼-佩特里斯-肖特法案》）对他人构成危险而进行的民事强制住院与强制住院后即刻进行的暴力行为及行为评定之间的关系。他们采用前瞻性设计对84名受试者进行了评估。被认为对他人有危险的受试者的暴力行为评定与非危险对照组的评定并无差异。然而，被认为对他人有危险的受试者在简明精神病评定量表的几个分量表上存在差异。作者讨论了这些结果对民事强制住院程序的影响。
