This paper examines a group of 178 consecutive admissions to Broadmoor Hospital and compares and contrasts findings, with those of an earlier study on offender patients in an area mental hospital. In the main, there are more similarities than differences between the two offender patient groups; fewer Broadmoor patients had had previous hospital admissions, and there was a longer time interval between this and the last hospital admission for the Broadmoor group. Other information about the Broadmoor patient group is presented and discussed, in particular the tendency for patients to have been involved in similar offences to that leading to the present admission.
