Introduction
We collected demographic and clinical data on all 959 patients discharged from medium secure units in England and Wales between 1 April 1997 and 31 March 1998 and used the offenders' index to find details of subsequent convictions.
A total of 145 patients (15%) were convicted within two years, including 60 (6%) who were convicted of violent offences (table).
Risk factors for conviction over two years for patients discharged from medium secure units in England and Wales (n=959)
