Page "Involuntary commitment" Paragraph 36

To determine if these conditions are met, the suspect is observed in a forensic psychiatric detention center, the Pieter Baan Centre.

Neither the prosecution or the defense can effectively challenge the Pieter Baan Centre's report, since it is the only institution that can conduct such investigations.

Fatal mistakes have occurred, for instance, when a child molester regarded by the Pieter Baan Center as " not dangerous " killed a child upon release.

The conclusions in the centre's report are not binding, the judge can decide to ignore, or only partially accept them.
