A third outcome is community tenure, which is the actual num-
ber of days divided by the potential number of days spent in the
community.
Methods
A controlled cohort study was designed over with first
results at 33 months. The experimental group consists of a new
ForACT team in the area of Flanders, Belgium (
n
= 70). Patients are
admitted from prison, psychiatric hospitals or other community-
based care. The control group consists of mentally ill offenders in
community-based treatment after release from prison (
n
= 56).
Results
Results on forensic measures and community tenure are
promising in favour of the ForACT team. In contrast, clients are
often, though shortly, readmitted into psychiatric residential care.
Substance use emerges as the main reason for admissions.
Conclusions
A local forensic adaptation of ACT reveals promising
results on forensic outcome measures, yet suffers a large number
of admissions.

Introduction
Substance-related mechanism may be capable of
promoting brain changes in high-risk individuals
[1,2] . Cannabis
use reported to be associated in long-term cognitive effects.
Aim
To evaluate mental status and criminal behavior in indi-
viduals under cannabinoid consumption in forensic psychiatric
assessment.
Methods
A retrospective analysis was conducted of forensic
psychiatry examination reports in psychoactive substance con-
sumption cases (
n
= 170) in National Service of Forensic Psychiatry
2010–2014. Offenders, which were reported with cannabinoid
consumption (
n
= 57) were assessed by socio-demographic char-
acteristics, mental state, court order and outcome.
Results
Eighty-six percent offenders with cannabinoid consump-
tion in observed period were men. The age of offenders prevailed
from 18 to 35 years with basic education; 57.9% of offenders con-
suming cannabinoids were single
( Fig. 1 ).A total of 36.8% of all crimes in research group were committed
against property, 31.6% – an unlawful possession of psychotropic
substances, 22.8% – committed against human health, 8.8% –
against public order
( Fig. 2 ).Conclusions
Impulse control deficiency and emotion disorders
were prevalent among offenders under cannabinoid consumption;
17.5% were committed irresponsible, all of them due to comorbid
psychiatric disorder. More likely to offend were men, aged 18–35
years, single, who had basic or lower education.
