Are People with Mental Illnesses at Increased Risk of Violent Offending?
This student studied:
Griffith University - 1010CCJ - Introduction to Forensic Psychology
This essay explores the relationship between violent offending and the presence of mental illness. It details the comorbidity of substance abuse and mental illness (particularly disorders with a psychotic element, such as schizophrenia, and substances known to either increase or activate latent psychoses, such as cannabinoids) and discusses the compounding effect of the two on the risk of violent offending in an individual. Using both social learning theory and Eysenck’s theory of personality and crime, it talks about other compounding factors such as socioeconomic and sociodemographic factors and their relationship to the above. It also briefly details the increased risk of violent victimisation of people with a mental illness, before finding that while certain mental illnesses do increase the likelihood of an individual committing a violent offence, the risk is significantly increased when some or all of the previously discussed factors are present in the one individual. It then summarises the suggestions of Mullen as to how people with mental illnesses could be better treated and managed in society today.
Are people with mental health problems at increased risk of violent offending? Discuss
This student studied:
Griffith University - 1010CCJ - Introduction to Forensic Psychology
HD received for this essay. "The belief that mental illness and violence are intricately linked carries significant consequences to how mental illness and the mentally ill criminal offender is viewed and treated by policy makers, criminal justice administrators, and society in general. Researchers and forensic psychologists have increasingly attempted to explore the complex relationship between violence and mental health in order to understand whether people with mental health problems are in fact at increased risk of violent offending. This essay will argue that although there is evidence of individuals with certain types of mental illnesses being at increased risk of violent offending, the risk is mediated by a number of contextual factors, which may present more significant risks that increase the risk of violent offending."
