“…Stable family relationships and community ties are known to have great potential in the prevention of re-offending among former inmates (1)(2)(3). In criminology, this potentially protective factor is also referred to as "social capital" (2)(3)(4). Broadly speaking, social capital can be defined as a person's individual capacity to call upon personal ties and social networks in order to advance some personal interest and can provide former inmates with resources beneficial to their reintegration (e.g., employment, financial and emotional support, housing) (3,5).…”

The importance of “social capital” in offender rehabilitation has been well established: Stable family and community relationships offer practical assistance in the resettlement process after being released from custody and can serve as motivation for building a new sense of self off the criminal past, thus reducing the risk of re-offending. This also applies to offenders with severe mental disorders. The aim of this study was to identify factors that promote or hinder the establishment or maintenance of social relationships upon release from a court-ordered inpatient treatment using a modern statistical method—machine learning (ML)—on a dataset of 369 offenders with schizophrenia spectrum disorder (SSD). With an AUC of 0.73, support vector machines (SVM) outperformed all the other ML algorithms. The following factors were identified as most important for the outcome in respect of a successful re-integration into society: Social integration and living situation prior to the hospitalization, a low risk of re-offending at time of discharge from the institution, insight in the wrongfulness of the offense as well as into the underlying psychiatric illness and need for treatment, addressing future perspectives in psychotherapy, the improvement of antisocial behavior during treatment as well as a detention period of less than 1 year emerged as the most predictive out of over 500 variables in distinguishing patients who had a social network after discharge from those who did not. Surprisingly, neither severity and type of offense nor severity of the psychiatric illness proved to affect whether the patient had social contacts upon discharge or not. The fact that the majority of determinants which promote the maintenance of social contacts can be influenced by therapeutic interventions emphasizes the importance of the rehabilitative approach in forensic-psychiatric therapy.

ZusammenfassungDas Risk-Need-Responsivity(RNR)-Modell erweist sich in der Behandlung straffällig gewordener Menschen als effektives Modell zur Reduktion der Rückfälligkeit für erneute Straftaten. Um eine individuelle Behandlung mit größtmöglicher Effektivität zu planen, sollen neben den Risikofaktoren v. a. auch die spezifischen Ansprechbarkeitsfaktoren (SAF) sorgfältig erfasst werden. Das spezifische Ansprechbarkeitsprinzip fordert eine klient:innenorientierte Flexibilität bei der Umsetzung der Behandlung und dem Umgang mit individuellen Behandlungsbarrieren. Dabei steht das Prinzip häufig in der Kritik, nicht ausreichend erforscht zu sein und in der Praxis selten berücksichtigt zu werden. Dieses Review bietet einen aktuellen Überblick über klient:innenbezogene SAF und soll Kliniker:innen dabei unterstützen, die SAF ihrer Klient:innen zu identifizieren, um die Behandlung daran anzupassen oder sie gezielt zu adressieren. Dabei unterstreicht dieser Artikel einmal mehr die Bedeutung, aber auch die Komplexität der Operationalisierung von SAF und den Umgang mit ihnen in der Behandlung und Forschung.
