We have recently been alerted to errors in Table 1 of this publication. We have re-analysed the primary data and provided a corrected and expanded version of Table 1. We wish to draw attention to the findings that demonstrate a significant association between being a victim of violent crime and the following socio-demographic and clinical variables; (a) younger age, (b) homeless status in the last 12 months, (c) substance abuse or dependence, (d) being arrested in the last 12 months, (e) impaired social and occupational functioning. Neither sex nor chronic course of disorder were significantly associated with victim status. We apologize for errors in the original publication, and request that readers take the corrections into account when reading the original publication.
