Individuals with intellectual disability (ID) are known to experience increased emotional and behavioural concerns. The study aims to assess whether detained ID patients with a forensic history (IDPF) have increased difficulty managing their impulse control in comparison to detained ID patients without a forensic history (IDP). Using the externalising behaviour problems (EBP) subscale of the EPS, the study aims to compare the differences between the IDFP and IDP groups.,A total of 60 patients with ID detained under the Mental Health Act 1983 (Revised 2007) were assessed using the behaviour rating scale of the EPS. The outcome scores of the EBP were used to examine any observed differences between the scores of forensically involved patients [n = 34] and those without a forensic history [n = 26]. It was hypothesised that patients with a forensic history would display higher scoring on externalised behavioural problems (EBP) than patients without such a history.,Non-parametric testing revealed that there were no significant differences in EBP scoring between the two sample groups. These findings indicate that, for patients in the present study, no differences were detected in the presentation of these two distinct groups. In fact, with the exception of the verbal aggression subscale of the EBP, the other three subscales (physical aggression, non-compliance and hyperactivity) show that actually the IDP group displayed the higher ranked means in these subscales when compared with the forensically involved group.,These results indicate possible increased treatment needs within the IDP group and question whether offending history is necessarily a reliable predictor of ongoing hostility and behavioural concerns within similar inpatient services.

情绪问题和智力残疾：比较有和没有法医介入的人群

已知智障人士（ID）会遇到更多的情绪和行为问题。该研究旨在评估与没有法医病史（IDP）的被拘留ID患者相比，具有法医病史（IDPF）的被拘留ID患者在管理冲动控制方面是否增加了难度。本研究使用EPS的外在行为问题（EBP）分量表，旨在比较IDFP组和IDP组之间的差异。根据《 1983年精神卫生法》（2007年修订）对60名ID拘留的ID患者进行了评估。 EPS的行为评级量表。EBP的结果评分用于检查法医参与患者[n = 34]和没有法医病史[n = 26]的患者之间的任何观察到的差异。假设有法医病史的患者在外在行为问题（EBP）方面的得分要高于没有此类病史的患者。非参数测试显示，两个样本组之间的EBP得分没有显着差异。这些发现表明，对于本研究中的患者，在这两个不同的组的表现中未发现差异。实际上，除了EBP的言语攻击性子量表外，其他三个子量表（身体攻击性，不遵从性和活动过度）表明，与法医介入组相比，IDP组在这些子量表中的排名均值更高。，
