The rise in criminal cases involving individuals with mental disorders has highlighted forensic psychiatry and prompted the development of a social safety net. Literature indicates 20-40% of individuals with mental disorders enter the judicial system, with severe mental illness (SMI) patients constituting 9-20% of the prison population. Effective treatments and enhanced human rights have reintegrated SMI patients into the community, but inadequate community mental health services lead some to commit offenses. The U.S. Mental Health Acts emphasize individual autonomy, reducing involuntary hospitalizations and increasing offense likelihood. Taiwan's Mental Health Act revised for emergency placement and involuntary hospitalization procedures in Dec., 2022. The Police Power Exercise Act and Code of Criminal Procedure regulate handling offenders with mental illness. This paper explores the Risk-Need-Responsivity (RNR) model, Good Lives Model (GLM), and Recovery Model (RM) in forensic psychiatry, shares Jianan Psychiatric Center's guardianship practices, and offers recommendations to reduce inappropriate media coverage, enhance forensic evaluations, and supplement custodial manpower to improve forensic psychiatric care, facilitate SMI patient reintegration, and reduce recidivism. |
