“…Despite high ratios of males to females, it has been suggested that particular attention needs to be given to the treatment requirements of women in this environment. In comparison to men, a significant number of female patients have an index offence of arson (Lumsden et al, 1996;Coid et al, 2000). High rates of self-harm have also been recognised amongst female patients, for example Bland et al, found that 94% of women at Broadmoor hospital self-harmed (1999).…”

“…Participants were therefore divided into two categories (long-stay patients and long-long stay patients) on the basis of a median split. l Gender: in addition to the above rationale on female long-stay patients, the characteristics of female long-stay patients may differ significantly from those of men in secure services (Coid et al 168 ; Long et al, 169 ). Female long-stay patients are also more likely to be a minority within services, and so their experiences may differ from those of their male long-stay patient counterparts.…”

HS&DR programmeThe Health Services and Delivery Research (HS&DR) programme, part of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), was established to fund a broad range of research. It combines the strengths and contributions of two previous NIHR research programmes: the Health Services Research (HSR) programme and the Service Delivery and Organisation (SDO) programme, which were merged in January 2012.The HS&DR programme aims to produce rigorous and relevant evidence on the quality, access and organisation of health services including costs and outcomes, as well as research on implementation. The programme will enhance the strategic focus on research that matters to the NHS and is keen to support ambitious evaluative research to improve health services.For more information about the HS&DR programme please visit the website: http://www.nets.nihr.ac.uk/programmes/hsdr This reportThe research reported in this issue of the journal was funded by the HS&DR programme or one of its preceding programmes as project number 11/1024/06.

“…Whilst containing strengths this theory leans more towards juvenile firesetters than adult firesetters. Coid, Kahtan, Gault, and Jarman (2000) observed that women were more likely than men to have an index offence of arson and histories of firesetting. Indeed, firesetting often precipitates women's admissions to secure treatment services (Cunningham, Timms, Holloway, and Radford, 2011).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to discuss the implementation and evaluation of interventions for women firesetters in high secure mental healthcare at the UK’s National Women’s Service. Design/methodology/approach Two types of Arson treatment programmes for women, one delivered to individuals, the other within a group context, were developed, delivered and evaluated. The evaluation incorporated qualitative and quantitative data, including psychometric measures. Qualitative data were analysed using thematic analysis. Findings The evaluation evidenced very high engagement with and attendance at treatment programmes, and several post-treatment gains. Participants’ ratings of programmes and qualitative feedback were similarly very positive. The study demonstrated that engaging women firesetters in their treatment is paramount and can be facilitated by consistent boundaries around therapy provision balanced with sensitivity, empathy and flexibility; providing interactive and varied teaching methods; ongoing service user involvement and recognising participants’ achievements; employing a mixed cognitive analytic therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy therapeutic approach; having input from fire service staff; and maintaining organisational support for firesetting interventions. Practical implications In all, 12 key recommendations are made for clinicians considering offering treatment programmes for women firesetters. Originality/value Amid few published papers on treating women firesetters this paper guides forensic clinicians in establishing and delivering interventions for women firesetters.
