Journal ArticleDOI
Mental disorders and violence in a total birth cohort: results from the Dunedin Study.
TL;DR: In the age group committing most violent incidents, individuals with mental disorders account for a considerable amount of violence in the community.
Journal ArticleDOI
Homicides by people with mental illness: myth and reality.
Pamela J. Taylor,John Gunn +1 more
TL;DR: There was little fluctuation in numbers of people with a mental illness committing criminal homicide over the 38 years studied, and a 3% annual decline in their contribution to the official statistics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Motives for offending among violent and psychotic men
TL;DR: Within the psychotic group, those driven to offend by their delusions were most likely to have been seriously violent, and psychotic symptoms probably accounted directly for most of the very violent behaviour.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mental disorder and violence. A special (high security) hospital study.
TL;DR: For people with personality disorder better clinical descriptions seem essential, and treatment appears as important for public safety as for personal health for people with a pure psychosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Violence and psychosis. I. Risk of violence among psychotic men.
Pamela J. Taylor,John Gunn +1 more
