ABSTRACT

Substance abuse is an important risk factor for offending, but is mostly studied in males. The aim of this multicentre study is to gain insight into possible gender differences in substance abuse history and offending behavior in forensic psychiatric patients. Files were analyzed of 275 women and 275 matched men who have been admitted between 1984 and 2014 to one of four Dutch gender-mixed forensic hospitals. Risk assessment ratings were related to registered violent incidents during treatment for both women and men and to official recidivism data after discharge for a subgroup of 78 women. Substance abuse history was coded as a risk factor for more than half of the women (56.7%), but significantly more often for men (68.4%). Men were more often diagnosed with substance dependence and more frequently committed the index-offense whilst intoxicated. Prediction of violent incidents during treatment was more accurate for men. A history of substance abuse was not a significant predictor for recidivism after discharge in the subgroup women. It is concluded that there are gender differences in substance abuse history and that the relationship with offending behavior seems stronger for men. These differences have implications for substance use treatment in forensic mental health services.

药物滥用历史和犯罪行为的性别差异:荷兰法医精神病学的多中心研究

摘要

药物滥用是犯罪的一个重要风险因素,但主要在男性中进行研究。这项多中心研究的目的是深入了解药物滥用史和法医精神病患者的犯罪行为中可能存在的性别差异。对 1984 年至 2014 年间入住荷兰四家性别混合法医医院之一的 275 名女性和 275 名匹配的男性的档案进行了分析。风险评估评级与女性和男性治疗期间登记的暴力事件以及78名女性亚组出院后的官方累犯数据有关。超过一半的女性 (56.7%) 将药物滥用史列为风险因素,但男性 (68.4%) 的风险因素明显更高。男性更常被诊断出患有物质依赖,并且更频繁地在醉酒时犯下索引罪行。对于男性来说,治疗期间暴力事件的预测更为准确。药物滥用史不是亚组女性出院后累犯的重要预测因素。得出的结论是,药物滥用史存在性别差异,男性与犯罪行为的关系似乎更强。这些差异对法医心理健康服务中的物质使用治疗有影响。
