There is an omission error in the Methods. After this sentence in the Methods (2nd paragraph, first line): "Data was first extracted on 7,948 individuals who were admitted to a forensic psychiatric hospital between 1973 and 2009 (the entire period for which register data was available)", the following sentence should be added: "As specialist forensic psychiatric hospitals were uncommon in the 1970s and 1980s, our sample includes all patients who were transferred to any psychiatric hospital following a court decision, and thus our sample is not limited to those discharged from secure or forensic hospitals but also those discharged from some general hospitals."
