摘要:

juvenile offending is a major cause for concern in most parts of the world. The cost to the young person, his or her family and the community is enormous yet the resources spent on research do not reflect its importance. The research covered in this review mostly confirms previous findings, namely the importance of early onset, multiple offending and family discord in the aetiology of delinquency. The need for epidemiologically based outcome studies is emphasized.

摘要:

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is now recognized as a diagnosis, and is listed in both DSM-IV and ICD-10. The concept and definition of traumatic events is changing, with implications for diagnosis and treatment of post-traumatic responses. This review focuses particularly on the pathological effects of crime.

摘要:

Current research into the epidemiology, classification, natural course and treatment of personality disorder, with reference to forensic psychiatry is reviewed. Research conducted in the past year consolidates rather than advances our current thinking in what is still a controversial area. Despite its importance and impact on health-service provision, major problems in defining the disorder remain. This in turn impedes aetiological understanding and satisfactory treatment development.

摘要:

Within the narrow remit of mentally disordered offenders, this review concerns papers on alcohol problems in special hospital patients and on psychiatric disorder in delinquent adolescents. Two papers on medicolegal matters are included. Most of the published work relates to the co-occurrence of substance misuse and psychiatric disorder of relevance to forensic psychiatrists: this review, therefore, includes papers on alcohol problems in victims of trauma, and post-traumatic stress disorder in substance misusers in the general population. The remaining work covers apposite public-health matters, such as risks of HIV transmission by prisoners and drunken-driving offences.

摘要:

This review discusses recent literature in the areas of mental disorder and criminality, violence, disorders of impulse control, and other topics related to applied criminology. Major mental illness is emerging as a risk factor for criminality. Prediction of future violence and criminality based soley on endogenous characteristics remains problematic. The usefulness of impulse-control-disorder diagnoses such as kleptomania or pyromania remains questionable.

摘要:

Recent research into sex offending suggests advances in both assessment and treatment. Additional dimensions in the classification of paraphilic sexual interest have been identified and there has been a major methodological advance in the assessment of sexual interest through plethysmography which now seems to have a much sounder empirical basis. Evidence for the efficacy of some behavioural techniques for modifying sexual preferences has emerged together with warnings about the limitations of these techniques. A key role in treatment is identified for motivational factors and consequently for the cognitive-affective variables on which they depend.

摘要:

The number of individuals with major mental disorders who are committing crimes has led to a generally unfavourable opinion of institutional care. The literature reviewed here supports this conclusion as it pertains to correctional facilities which offer little, or no mental health care, high levels of stress, and high rates of violence. However, evidence supporting this conclusion in relation to security hospital care was found to be lacking. The paucity of data on the effectiveness of various treatment programs and management strategies for this population is striking.

摘要:

Two controversial ethical issues are reviewed: the growing public and professional interest in the repercussions of sexual abuse, and the continuing enmeshment of forensic psychiatry in the administration of capital punishment. Both of these topics have polarized the field by the intensity of diverging opinions, and no entirely satisfactory resolution for either is in view.
