 Objective:To compare characteristics between compulsorily hospitalized patients and patients subject to the Medical Care and Supervision Act in order to understand the characteristics that are common to and those that differ between the two groups of patients and to discuss major issues in the two support systems and the current role for the compulsory hospitalization system.

 Methods:A retrospective study was conducted with patients involuntarily admitted to mental hospitals through the Japanese forensic mental health system over a period of 2 years. Comparison focused on the occurrence of violent recidivism and timing of the occurrence of symptoms, and characteristics were elicited.

 Results:Participants comprised 163 people, with the most common diagnosis being schizophrenia. The group exhibiting violent recidivism had a high frequency of past stays and involuntary admission in mental hospitals. In terms of life situation, they had meagre work experience, and poor support from family or a key person. Significant proportions of subjects in the supervised group had impaired thinking, received medical care irregularly, violated a law previously, or had a history of compulsory hospitalization.

 Discussion:The system should shift the focus to relevant to the prevention of harmful behavior towards others, since compulsory hospitalization is one of opportunities to prevent harmful behavior from recurring or worsening.
