The material consisted of 87 persons given a sentence in the years 1978 to 1987. Twenty-seven were under 23 years. There was no significant difference in the number of persons sentenced each year in the ten year period. The age of the patients was between 16 and 29 years with the median age being nearly 25 years. Most of the patients had a psychosis. The youngest group (less than 23 years) had a greater proportion of non-psychotic illness. Most of the patients were males. They had committed serious crimes and were sentenced to treatment in psychiatric hospitals with contact to a probation officer during out-patient treatment. Most of the patients were treated with neuroleptics, whereas psychotherapy, education and work-training were rare. The ability to attend out-patient treatment was generally low, and most of the patients were taken in for hospital treatment, according to the requirements of the sentence, because they did not keep their appointments. In order to increase the quality of the treatment offered it is recommended that special forensic psychiatric departments are established. This has taken place in the Copenhagen mental health hospital in 1989.
该材料包含1978年至1987年间被判刑的87人。其中27人年龄在23岁以下。在这十年期间，每年被判刑的人数没有显著差异。患者年龄在16岁至29岁之间，中位年龄接近25岁。大多数患者患有精神病。最年轻的组（不到23岁）非精神病性疾病的比例更高。大多数患者为男性。他们犯了严重罪行，被判处到精神病院接受治疗，门诊治疗期间与缓刑监督官保持联系。大多数患者接受抗精神病药物治疗，而心理治疗、教育和工作培训很少。门诊治疗的出勤率普遍较低，根据判决要求，大多数患者因未按时就诊而被收治入院。为了提高所提供治疗的质量，建议设立专门的法医精神病科。1989年哥本哈根精神卫生医院已经这样做了。
