[Are too Many Temporarily Placed Non-culpable Offenders Committed to Forensic Psychiatric Hospitals in Germany? Thoughts on the Relationship of Forensic and General Psychiatry].
From the perspective of the forensic clinics, the judiciary is increasingly ordering temporary placements according to Sec. 126a of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Three hypotheses are proposed that could (partly) explain this increase: 1) Courts' tendency to hand down this decision even in cases involving minor offences. 2) Courts' tendency to hand down this decision despite positive prognoses. 3) Changes in the reporting practices of psychiatric clinics. Overly simple explanations for the increase in temporary placements, therefore, fall short. This makes it more urgent to strengthen the primary-prevention approach. It is imperative that the small percentage of people with mental illness and an increased propensity to violence be identified and treated to prevent violence in the general psychiatric care stage. For this forensic psychiatry and general psychiatric care must be interlinked more closely.
