Criminality and Violence among the Mentally Disordered: The Stockholm Metropolitan Project: Cambridge Studies in Criminology

Autor Sheilagh Hodgins, Carl-Gunnar Janson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 mai 2009
In recent years it has become apparent that mentally ill people are at increased risk of committing crimes of violence. Most writing and research about crime and mental disorder has focused necessarily on the immediate problems which confront clinicians and law makers - assessing and managing the future risk of violence. In this important new book the authors attempt to step back from these immediate preoccupations and describe the criminality of the mentally ill and try to identify the complex chain of factors which cause it. As part of their analysis they examine a unique cohort composed of 15,117 persons born in Stockholm who were studied from pregnancy to the age of thirty. While they conclude that we still do not understand exactly how and why persons with major mental disorders commit crimes, their findings make a valuable contribution to ongoing debates on mental health and criminal justice policy and practice.

Recenzii

'This book is very important for forensic mental health care professionals and researchers. The authors present a unique set of prospective and retrospective Swedish data on the relationship between mental disorder and crime. … I highly recommend this book to all forensic mental health professionals and researchers in the field. Not only are the findings from the research presented important and unique; the authors also teach us much about research methodology, and its limitations, that lead the way for future research in this field.'
