The authors place the mall's development within the context of the Hospital's problems associated with ward-based treatment. They describe objectives in developing the mall, steps taken to prepare staff and hospitalized persons, and the mall's structure and programs.

Research paper thumbnail of Relationship between the social and demographic characteristics of post-sentence offenders and the outcomes of forensics psychiatric referrals

The referral process was divided into three stages: Decision to refer, compliance with referral, and outcome of referral, and the following research questions were explored: (1) whether there were differences between the social and demographic characteristics of offenders who were referred by court order of the sentencing judge and those referred by their probation officer; (2) the relationship between socioeconomic status and completion of referral; (3) the relationship between socioeconomic status and recommendation for further mental health services; and (4) the relationship between source of referral and recommendation for mental health services. Results suggest that the relationship between social and demographic variables and the offender's interaction with a forensic mental health system is markedly different from the voluntary clients and mental health resources studied in earlier research.
