Popis: AIMS Compulsory admissions according to section sign 64 German penal code are rising. There is also a dramatic increase in dropout-rates with regard to coercive therapeutic interventions in forensic facilities specialized in the treatment of offenders addicted to drugs or alcohol. METHODS By means of two case histories dilemmas of expert opinion and coercive treatment of offenders addicted to drugs or alcohol are illustrated. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS Consideration of current results in addiction research should be an obligatory element of expert opinion and coercive treatment programmes in forensic facilities to provide for sufficient quality standards. Even when strict quality criteria are considered failures in placement of offenders with drug or alcohol addiction can not be ruled out. Besides scientific criteria a variety of other factors may influence the decision to coercive drug addiction therapy in a forensic facility e. g. jurisdiction or even tactical statements of the offender.
