Sažetak
Recent research has shown a clear association between
schizophrenia and violent behaviour, which cannot be
completely explained by co-morbid substance abuse or
personality disorders. This increased risk for delinquent
behaviour becomes apparent in acts of severe violent crime.
Individuals who frequent the penal system often have a history
of acute and chronic mental illness, as well as significant rates
of co-morbidity; this includes alcohol and drug abuse, lack of
motivation in therapy, poor insight regarding their illness,
high rates of therapeutic non-compliance, as well as frequent,
mostly short-term, contact with general psychiatry prior to
forensic institutionalisation.
Forensic psychiatric research has developed assessment
and treatment tools which are also of great practical
importance to general psychiatry.
