Abstract

Psychiatric inpatients in special units designed for the treatment/management of violence (secure care) are compared with inpatients in three forensic programs. Although program designers anticipated that secure care and forensic patients would be similar, they were not. Principally, secure care patients were lower functioning in the psychiatric areas and were more likely to have engaged in a physical assault in the last 30 days.
