Major Mental Disorder and Crime: An Etiological Hypothesis

  • Chapter
Psychopathy: Theory, Research and Implications for Society

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASID,volume 88))

Abstract

Evidence has been accumulating since the 1960’s indicating that greater proportions of persons who suffer from major mental disorders than non-disordered persons commit crimes, commit crimes of violence, and behave aggressively towards others. Three types of investigations have addressed the relation between the major mental disorders and crime: follow-up studies of psychiatric patients discharged to the community; studies of the prevalence of the major mental disorders among convicted offenders; and investigations of unselected birth cohorts comparing the prevalence of criminality among persons with major disorders and with no disorders. A fourth type of investigation has examined aggressive behavior.
