Uvidom u medicinsku, socijalnu i sudsku dokumentaciju prikupljeni su po¬daci o neubrojivim mentalno retardiranim osobama (N=34) koje su počinile obilježja kaznenog djela, a nalaze se na prisilnoj hospitalizaciji u Zavodu za forenzičku psihijatriju Neuropsihijatrijske bolnice "Dr. Ivan Barbot" u Popovači. Utvrđeno je da neubrojive mentalno retardirane osobe u većini slučajeva imaju i komorbidne dijagnoze, prethodno su psihijatrijski liječene i mlađe su dobi.
