Abstract

Background: Since the mental insanity has extended the legal territory, the role of psychiatrist in determining the mental status of criminals has received paramount importance. It will be possible to determine high risk groups for criminal activity by studying the factors which are effective in violent criminality of mentally ills, so that we will be able to propose measures of prevention.Materials and methods: 130 criminals suffering from mental illness, have been referred by the court in order to receive psychiatric consultation for criminal responsibility. A conformed interview was done and a questionnaire has been filled for each client including information about the type of psychiatric disorder, the type and severity of criminality, and demographic factors.Results: Personality disorders were by far the most prevalent form of mental illness in criminals, but the most violent CRIMEs have been attempted by psychotic patients including schizophrenics and sufferers of delusional disorders. The prevalence of CRIME has been shown to be correlated with male gender, singleness; noncompliance and financial dependence to family, however, no association has been found with educational level, family socioeconomic status, alcohol abuse, substance abuse, family history of criminality and duration of illness. Furthermore, the severity of the CRIME was correlated with the type of mental illness. Conclusion: Screening programs for high risk patients and exerting the proper management, especially for noncompliance cases, could prevent criminal activities due to mental illness.
