死亡和伤害在世界各地被警方拘留的被拘留者中得到了很好的认识。根据以往全球调查的结果和欧洲防止酷刑委员会(CPT)的建议,编制了一份调查表,概述欧洲国家目前警察拘留的医疗方面情况。这项调查分发给了所有欧洲国家的指定联系人。研究人员获得了来自25个欧洲国家的数据。结果显示,不同国家之间的监管存在显著差异,目前还没有接近统一的欧洲标准。这项研究发现,在对被警方拘留的被拘留者提供医疗保健和法医医疗服务的方法和标准方面存在着有趣的差异(例如,监测的量化模式、医生的资格、被拘留者被警方拘留的最长时间、机构或调查对警察的投诉的组织)。一些国家有非常详细的法律规定,而在另一些国家,只有普遍遵守的规定,有时只是以建议的形式提供。一个多国、多专业的专家组需要确定最佳做法,建议基本护理标准,并确定适合在这一领域工作的医疗保健专业人员的资格。
Death and harm is well-recognised in detainees in police custody worldwide. Based on the results of previous global surveys and the CPT (European Committee for the Prevention of Torture) recommendations a questionnaire was developed to summarise the current medical aspects of police custody in European countries. The survey was distributed to named contacts in all European countries. Data from 25 European countries was obtained.The results reveal significant differences in the regulations among the different countries, with nothing close to a harmonised European standard in place at present. This study has identified interesting variations in the methods and standards of healthcare and forensic medical services to detainees in police custody (e.g. quantitative mode of monitoring, qualification of the doctors, maximum time allowed for holding a detainee in police custody, body or an organisation that investigates complaints against the police). There are both very detailed legal regulations in some countries while in others there are only generally observed provisions that sometimes are only given in the form of recommendations.A multinational, multiprofessional expert group is required to identify best practices, recommend basic standards of care and identify qualifications which would be appropriate for healthcare professionals working in this field.
